Form 1 had great fun making ‘Gingerbread Reindeer’. They did a wonderful job of following the instructions. We are very proud of them all. They enjoyed their creations as a break time snack, and they were delicious!

Pupils enjoyed trying to write in Chinese and everybody aced...

Warm pastries were enjoyed while the children sat with their dads, drawing portraits and completing activities. Each father was awarded a trophy and a medal in recognition of all the wonderful things they do. There were...
