Santa Cycle

Boothferry’s first Santa Cycle proved a huge success with a fantastic turn out.  The children really did go the extra mile to decorate and accessorize their bikes. The council road safety team were on hand to judge the ‘best in show’ bikes and scooters. A very special visitor took time out from his Christmas preparations to present the lucky winners. Our fabulous kitchen kept us fueled up with Hot chocolate and sausage butties. Mr Sibley said ” An amazing amount of work went into the design of these bikes. Boothferry children love cycling and are proud to be the Northern school of the year for promoting cycling.”
