🧶 Wool Club Returns for Term 2! 🧶

What a lovely way to start Term 2 – Wool Club is back! 💛

Despite the stormy weather outside, there was a brilliant turnout and a cosy, relaxed atmosphere as pupils spent the afternoon chatting, laughing and creating together. 🌧️☕

This term, the focus is on making pom-poms, and everyone had a great time learning the technique, choosing their colours and seeing their fluffy creations start to take shape! 🎨✨

It was the perfect calm and creative activity for a wild and windy afternoon.

A huge thank you to Mrs Mann for hosting and leading the group – a lovely start to another fun term of crafting! 🧵💫
