Year 4 visit Botany Bay

14 June 2019

The last half of term started with a bang, as Year 4 went to visit Botany Bay on the very first day back! The children had an absolute whale of a time building sand castles, exploring the creatures, the unique environment and playing beach games. The staff were all incredibly impressed with Year 4's super behaviour, a true credit to our School!
