We joined in with the session with Cressida Cowell's where she spoke about things that influenced her to write the series of books called 'How to train a dragon' The children enjoyed finding out all about her and her books and listening to questions that other children were asking her.

Morris Dancing 

Today we have really enjoyed a visit from North West Processional Clog Morris Dancing Club. They showed us some of their moves and talked to us about what Morris Dancing is. Then we had so much fun learning a routine they had put together for us whilst they played live music. Her are some pictures of us having a go!

Mrs Ellis was so proud that they went away saying how well behaved and engaged we were.
