Pakistan Afternoon

On Thursday 20th October we had Pakistan Afternoon. The afternoon was a celebration of all the children's hard work this half term. The children had an important role in setting up for the day as they had to design and create a market stall for our Pakistan market. The children really enjoyed themselves and did a wonderful job. There were many parents who joined us for the afternoon and the feedback received was brilliant. We are very proud of the children in Year 3 and 4. Thank you to all those who supported us to prepare for this day. Here are some photographs that capture the day's events:
