On the Thursday, we were treated to a Punch and Judy Show. Finally, on Friday we dressed for the seaside. We also watched a Science show and a brass band performance before tucking into a fish and chip picnic in the orchard. We had a fantastic week and topped it all off with some refreshing ice pops.
On Friday 26th June we had a 'Crazy Hair Day'.
We were given the challenge of making a boat using just one piece of paper.
In Art we looked closely at photographs of animals that you might find at the seaside or in the sea.
