  Today we had a record number of entries for our Bling Your Bike (or scooter) competition. There was a very large number of 'blinged' bikes and scooters - some fantastic efforts with lots of sparkly tinsel, lights and even some hand written jokes! Mrs Craig wished she had more gift tags because the School Council found that it was a very hard job to decide the winners. A huge well done to all those who made such an effort and a special thank you to those at home who helped to 'bling' the bikes and scooters!
