  The children had a very special treat this week when three of our fantastic parents came into school to help get everyone in Primary 1 to Primary 4 in the festive spirit.

   

  The children got to plant their own tree sapling which the school was successful in obtaining from The Woodland Trust, were treated to hot chocolate and s’mores and listened to some amazing Christmas stories read by our parent volunteers in our ‘Secret Garden’. 
   

  The children had an fantastic day with some children commenting that it was “the best day ever!”. Thanks to Alison Clarke, Tara Murphy and Danielle Gilchrist for organising the event.
