Bus newsletter

Many thanks to everyone who came along to Devonshire Road Park for family fun last Monday

We had arts and crafts on the bus, Active Soccer, forest schools fun (when we finally unlocked the cab of the bus and managed to get the equipment out!)

and Southbank Tennis Club arrived (slightly late because the coach, Ben, ended up at Pleasureland!) to do some tennis with the families as well

The rain stayed away and we even saw some sunshine – thank you to everyone for all your support!
