On Thursday Playball came to our school for a taster and the kids really got Active and enjoyed the fun games like "Wrecking ball" and some outdoor adventure blindfold fun. They were delighted with their stamp at the end!






On Friday second class finished with some tennis skills from their coach.Infants strengthened their muscles with some "Stretch and grow" and we had our yard sing song in the sunshine to "Rock the boat" and the "Macarena". The Active leaders really showed great
