French Visitors
This week we have had three teachers from France visiting us to learn more about Active Learning. It has been very interesting for staff to chat together about the two different Education systems and what we can learn from each other. Our visitors enjoyed their visit and commented on the good behaviour of our children. Once they return to France they are going to help us organise pen pals for our senior pupils who are learning French.

Our pupils had a great time decorating the Christmas tree at the Point Hotel. All of our pupils took part in a competition to design a decoration for the tree with prizes for the winners. Pop along to see the tree and the super decorations after our school Christmas Fair on Saturday. Thank you to the staff at the Point Hotel who made our pupils feel so welcome and to the member of staff who took time to have a conversation with Pablo in Spanish. ¡gracias
