South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Special visitors from SYFR came into school and discussed with the Y3 children all about the importance of keeping safe in the case of a fire and what to do in an emergency. The children enjoyed the talk and learnt lots of new things. World Book Day Thank you to everyone that came and participated in our World Book Day celebrations. All of the children, and staff looked amazing dressed up as their favourite book characters and everyone enjoyed lots of opportunity to Drop Everything and Read throughout the day.
