Big Thank You

To all the mums, dads, grannies, granddads and children of Aqua Class.
Thank you so much for an amazing year and for your lovely gifts, cards and messages today. Your children are wonderful and I will miss them all. I wish you all a fantastic summer and look forward to watching the children grow and flourish next year.
Mrs Saeed

The eels have been released!

This afternoon we took a lovely walk down through the fields to Well Hill Lake where we released our eels.  We had around 100 eels each to release into the lake. Some of them were big and fat and all of them were wriggly.  Some of us were very brave and held the eels in our hands as they were poured into the water.  Ceri (the eel lady) said that they can last for 15 years so if we all come back in 15 years time we may still see one or two of our eels in the lake.
A big thank you for all of the mums and dads that came to help and a special thank you to Ceri and the Severn and Wye Smokery for lending us the eels.

World Cup Final – Reception

The final between Wales and Scotland has now been played.

The match took place during lunch time and the referee was Kieran Forbes from Forest Green Rovers.  It was a nail biting match.  Both goalies played particularly well but in the end it was the right foot of Fergus that won the match for Scotland.

 

Final score

Scotland  2  –  1  Wales

It has been a truly amazing football tournament and we have all been every impressed with the talent and commitment of the players. Well done to everyone that took part.
