Today we had a fantastic start to the new half term with a circus skills day! The day started with a whole school assembly where we saw lots of different pieces of equipment and a few tricks. This was then followed by a workshop where we all got to try out the different activities. Some children surprised themselves and the adults with the skills! Activities available were;

*Plate spinning

*Scarf juggling

*Balancing large peacock feathers

*Flower sticks

*Ribbon twirling

*Diablo
