Thank you so much for such a fantastic day.The pupils were so enthused and excited by Bob's knowledge and artistic ability. The different activities really brought to life some of the learning for the children and the outcomes were very high quality.
The town and market place was amazing and I know the pupils felt very proud of their product.
