Sponsored Kayak
Congratulations to all the children that took part in the sponsored Kayak on Sunday the 26th. The weather smiled on us and everyone had a fantastic time. A huge thank you to Barrow on Soar Canoe club for hosting us on the day and the Boat House pub for food and entertainment, even those of us that didn’t paddle had a great time too. After such a successful afternoon, I suspect more than a few pupils will be wanting to be back out on the water again soon. A big thank you to all of the parents who helped to organise the event.
