Update later! But here's Oscar so far: It's been fun today and we won one match so far and lost three at the moment. It’s also been hot. We played well but we've let a few points through. It has been tiring and some of the matches have been hard. Probably the hardest was Caen; they scored 20 and we [...]
Thanks to those who came this afternoon... We know there's only a couple of weeks left until we break up but we thought it would be nice to offer an opportunity to look round the school, see what it was like in your child's classroom and to see what they'd done over the year.

A massive thank you to Tim and Rupert, from Christie Estates, for an excellent day in the Burrows.

We found many things of interest on our [...]
