The kids, the staff and the parents have had so much fun for the past few weeks on Fun Fridays in the lead up to Christmas. We've had Odd Socks Day, Whacky Hair Day, Pyjama Day, Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas Hat and Hairband Day. And we think it's fair to say it has lifted everyone's spirits and given us all something fun to focus on each week. Thanks to all the fabulous kids and parents for making the effort and to our super teachers for joining in with the fun.
