Curling Club Competition

On Tuesday 12th March 2016 Year 3 took part in a curling tournament hosted at our school. The team went up against Airmyn and Hook Primary School. The year 3’s were up against children who were in years 4,5,6, but they did really well and they had a really fun time. It was really good that parents could come and watch us playing and they helped to support our school. The Year 6’s were also really helpful as they helped referee the tournament!
