Happy Easter!

Hi Parents and Caregivers, A big Happy Easter from Room 20. We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable break. Today we went on a Easter Hunt. We made bunny ears and hopped around the whole school finding clues to where the Easter Bunny had hidden the eggs. Our clues went like this: Clue 1: A goal post, Clue 2: The best tree to climb, Clue 3: The strawberry patch, Clue 4: The new PE Shed, Clue 5: The Orchard, Clue 6: The front gate, Clue 7: The Top playground, Clue 8: The middle playground, Clue 9: The stage, Clue 10: The pool gate, Clue 11: The hall, Clue 12: Your Class..... where the amazing Easter treats were hidden. View some photos of our hunt and bunny ears below. Thank you Room 20 for being an awesome new entrant class. Miss Watson and Miss Ellis
