Wet Playtimes
We go out to play whatever the weather. If it is raining children need a WATERPROOF COAT and WATERPROOF SHOES or WELLIES. Please remember to send your child with appropriate wet and cold weather clothing to school even if you travel to school in a car.
Football News
On Wednesday Middle Street football team kicked off their season by taking part in a 7 a side tournament at East Brighton Park. The team played very well improving as they played. The team played with real team spirit coming 4th overall in the tournament.
