What a surprise Year 2 pupils had today when Father Christmas came especially to visit their grotto and shared gifts with them.

YEAR 2'S YUMMY BISCUITS!

The Year 2 classes have been very busy baking during the past week. Firstly, the extension was filled with the aroma of mince pies, then today, a strong scent of biscuits filled the whole school!

After teasing everybody's taste buds, the children then circled the school selling the biscuits - and selling them easily! An excellent business plan indeed!
