  Thank you to the PTA for arranging this afternoon's Mother's day tea. It was lovely to see so many Mums and Nans. The photo booth and raffle were a real success.Our line dancers were amazing and choir started so well but the technical hitch let us down sadly. 

  I hope all our Mums and Nans have a wonderful Mother's day. I hope you enjoy your daffodils and are thoroughly spoilt. Thank you for all you do!

  Have a wonderful weekend.
