Today our spiritual council took the food donations to the food bank in Tamworth. Whilst there, the children were able to see how the volunteers help the community and even help put together a bag ready for someone in need. 

Today Willow and Maple were visited by Lizzie from the Staffordshire History Centre to look at childhood through the ages. Our main focus was play and toys.

Oak and Maple class enjoyed some quality time reading together.

The reading buddies worked together to explore different books.
