Explorers and Pioneers Ice Skating

WOW the progress in the Ice Skating from week 1 to week 2 has been amazing. The children are persevering and working hard to learn to skate. They are using their growth mindset and getting up and carrying on when they fall over!

Flight to Rio

We turned Skippers into an airport today. We had a check in counter, passports, boarding passes, security, stewards and even a plane! We also had a big queue. It was so much fun role playing.
