  Year 6 Celebration Week - Thriftwood Activity Centre

  Today was probably one of the best days of the Year 6 celebration week. This week, the children travelled to the Thriftwood Activity Centre where they took part in a variety of exciting and adrenaline filled activities. All of the children took part in: an assault course, archery, a climbing wall and finally, the Leap of Faith. The children had a great time. Myself and Miss Martin just wanted to say a big thank you to all the parents that helped and volunteered to help today. Thank you so much and I hope everyone in Year 6 had a great day!
