s-fancy-dress-paradeI had a great time at the Halloween party – so many brilliant costumes it was very hard to choose the best, everyone joining in with the games, making crafts and of course eating all the Mummy pizzas and Frankenstein cakes. Let us know what your best bit was by leaving a comment here or on the
Halloween Party page on the website.

Special thanks to Jackie who was the force behind the whole party – wonderful cake maker, scary decorator extraordinaire and general organiser. Also thanks to everyone else who spotted something that needed doing and did it – we couldn’t do it without so many people willing to muck in and lend a hand.

Thanks also to Ron, Pat, Esther, Lisa, Becky, Amanda, Elka, Lucy and June for running skating sessions in the rest of half term.
