ATTENDANCE
Otters Class Assembly and Harvest Service On Tuesday Otters performed their class assembly as part of the harvest service in church. They all did very well and it was lovely to see so many parents in attendance. Thank you for your gifts they will be put together with the food that is brought to church this Sunday. Parcels will be distributed to families in need in Skelmersdale.
