Sponsored Pyjama Day
After reading an article about a charity that supports children with cleft palate and cleft lip, Hardy in Year 2 felt strongly that he wanted to do something to help. So today Hardy and Year 2 held a sponsored pyjama day. All the children and Year 2 staff wore their pyjamas to school today to raise money for the Smile Train charity. Well done Hardy and Year 2!
