Here are some photos of our Year 2s yesterday on their trip to see the pantomime Beauty and the Beast A fantastic day out, made even better by enjoying some well-earned ice creams!

Elf Mischief Alert! The elves have been spotted in Year 1 this morning and they've been up to no good! They've stolen the candy canes and baubles from Mr Doubles' tree and turned them into a mini golf course! To make matters worse... they've left a note claiming they're better at golf than Mr Collins! Uh oh we don't think he'll be too happy about that! What will the elves get up to next?
