🎩🐣 Easter Bonnet Fun! 🐣🎩

On Monday, we were delighted to welcome Mrs Donna Westbrook into school to help us with a very special activity – making Easter Bonnets! The whole school came together in the hall and, with Donna’s support (and plenty of creativity!), we produced some absolute masterpieces.

As part of the session, the children also shared and designed some exciting ideas for our school library, which will be the inspiration for a special project starting during the Easter holidays and continuing next term. We can’t wait to bring their ideas to life!

All of the bonnets were anonymously judged today at our Easter Fayre, and we’re thrilled to announce the winners:
🏆 P1–4: Bodhi and Ebony
🏆 P5–7: Gregor and Rubie

The designs were truly stunning – the best we’ve ever seen! Well done to all of our amazing pupils who put so much effort into their bonnets and got to take their fabulous creations home today after the Fayre.

A huge thank you to Mrs Westbrook for supplying all the materials and for giving up her time to help us – we couldn’t have done it without you! 💐💛
