Alleluia! He is risen! Welcome back! We hope you had a joyous time celebrating Easter with your families.

The children worked hard to […]

Our story focus this week has been the ‘The Ugly Duckling’.

Inspired by the ending of the story, some of the class decided to make their own flying creations and test them outside! […]
