Easter Egg Hunt Today!! (PSO)
The PSO’s have been very busy, Biscoff eggs have been hidden around the school… 👀🍫 If pupils find one, they can devour it faster than a rabbit on espresso!
BUT WAIT… there’s a twist… 🐰✨
Somewhere in the school, mischievous little bunnies are on the loose. If a pupil catches it and delivers it safely to the PSO room, they’ll receive a LARGE Easter egg (yes, the legendary golden choco-treasure! 🏆🍫)
Happy hunting, from the fantastic PSO TEAM 😍

Culture Month (Mrs Gibb)
This month’s Country of the Month is… Japan!
