Head Teacher- Mrs Burden 

This week some of our Year 2 children went to visit the older people at Pear Tree Court care home. 

There were lots of fun activities for them to take part in alongside the residents. 

The children were so courageous and showed a lot of respect towards the residents. Well done Sycamore class.
