Our 2023 Reception Class School Leavers Trip to Swithens Farm in Rothwell…
The day started off in a super exciting way as we all caught the 446 bus to Rothwell. We loved going on the bus as we regularly get very excited as we see these buses from our room’s window and wave, so to actually go on one was fantastic! But…… it got even more exciting …
