Week beginning 7th July 2025

 

What an exciting day we had last Friday for Sports Day! We had such a great time and the children were all brilliant. They loved the carousel of different activities - their particular favourites were the penalty shoot out, football dribbling and speed stacking. They showed great perseverance and determination in their races too! 

A typical week in Cumbria 3:
