Wow!  It's December this week already and only 3 weeks to go till the end of the school year.  The children have been pushing themselves to "finish the year strong".  We had a wonderful time swimming in the rain last week as well as an introduction to Street Racket which the children all enjoyed.  We have another session of Street Racket this week.
