Happy 5th Birthday







Elizabeth had a lovely 5th Birthday on Friday and a great party with some of her friends at the Wishing Well. Her favourite present has been the digital camera we bought her which also records video and on which you can play games . She has been clicking anything that moves ever since. Her birthday seems to have brought us all a taste of spring and we were able to get out in the garden, but I mustn't get carried away out there because experience shows it can often turn cold again and we are stll in March.

East Barnby
















What a fantastic week I've had with year six away at East Barnby on the North Yorkshire Moors for an activity holiday. We had great fun Beck scrambling, Skiing, canoeing, and beach combing for fossils and in rockpools. I had a go at everything and it was brilliant , if a little on the cold side especially standing waste deep in the beck to catch children ,with John the instructure,as they came down the shoot and take their pictures. Skiing was also a little chilly as the wind cut across the site on the moors. But I'm looking forward to doing it all again next year if I get the chance to go. We are planning a full week next year and include rock climbing, body boarding and sailing. Can't wait.
