Reader of the Week
You were spotted reading a book at lunchtime recently. Please see Mrs Jenkinson for your reward. Well done & keep reading.
Book Week Character Parade
It was like falling down a rabbit’s hole when walking into the MPC this morning. The area was awash with the much-loved, and at times quirky, characters from the student’s favourite books. A lot of imagination went into costumes and it was matched by the enthusiasm of our junior school kids.
Check out our picture gallery.
