If you look VERY closely you'll see that one of our Top Table guests was celebrating her seventh birthday. We lit the candle, we dimmed the lights and everyone sang Happy Birthday! A nice way to end another busy week...

Thank you to Andrea our cook who made our celebratory bread to accompany our wine and cheese to celebrate saving the city from the Great Fire of London.

We combined making music with raising money for the NSPCC today. As you can see, several 'Wayne Rooneys' joined Year 4 playing brass this morning. Thank you to all parents for your support in raising funds for a very worthy cause.
