Magic Toymaker
On Thursday 17th December, to say well done for all their hard work, children in KS1 met the amazing Puzzling Paul – The Magic Toymaker! He astounded the children with mesmerizing tricks and had them howling with laughter at his jokes. To end his show he made two doves disappear and in their place were Christmas presents for the children to enjoy. It was a fantastic afternoon for all the children!
