For the past week, the whole of Reception has been enjoying Splash Day 2018. Dressed in their very finest swimwear, all the children had loads of fun playing at each water station.  These featured waterwheels and pumps alongside buckets, squeezy squirters and a much-used hose.  There were sandpits and spades, too, plus tricycles and tyres filled with bowls of water. […]
