Our Y5&6 pupils are invited to a sleepover in the school hall on Friday 22nd November. We have been running this event for a number of years and have found it to be successful and very enjoyable.

As part of the children’s science learning about Space, we have a fun filled evening of space activities, including craft, team building, science, DT and maths. We also invite Mr Williams, Mrs Williams’ husband, and Mr Cunningham, Mrs Lyall’s dad, who are both keen astronomers, to attend. They will kindly show the children the moon and any visual stars and or planets through their telescopes. Fingers crossed for a clear evening.

At the end of the evening we all enjoy a movie together on the big screen before settling down to sleep. Only staff members will stay overnight. Further information and booking information will be send out closer to the time.
