Thank you to our amazing Rocksteady band leader Ash for preparing our bands for their first concert this year. We look forward to hearing them play live soon.

During their inquiry into how to keep their minds and bodies healthy Year 1 made their own carefully chopped fruit kebabs. They showed fantastic cutting skills, creativity and collaboration. Great job Year 1!
