Squash at The Falcon Club
Year 4 enjoyed their first squash lesson with Gavin. They practised keeping a close eye on the ball whilst manoeuvring around. I have to say Year 4 gave a very promising start - some of the children even progressed onto pancakes!

Year 4 had a lovely afternoon visiting Egremont Library. The children enjoyed choosing their own books to borrow and then we finished off our visit by reading our class Novel - Varjak Paw.
