The school’s active ambassadors introduced themselves and explained their role in encouraging the whole school community to

get involved in reducing our impact on the environment by travelling to school in environment-ally friendly ways!

Everyone loved learning traditional English and Scottish country dances. Year 3, 5 and 6 joined with teachers, international students and Comenius partner teachers to perform their
