We were also very lucky with the weather on our trip to Gulliver's World.Again, a great day was had by all! See separate photo show for pictures of the children. 13. Star of The Week All of the children have thoroughly deserved being the star for a week or two. Well done all ofyou! 14. Sports Day The day finally arrived and yes, we all managed to stay dry! All the children had a fabulous afternoon and did really well at each race, especially considering many had only had the chance to practice that morning due to our lovely weather! Well done to Hannah and Niamh in particular who supported Y3 in a race at the last minute. 15. Children's comments about Y2 Nathan We have had fun in Y2 and I liked science.
