Defence School Mentor News
Week 10 and it’s been another great term of Defence Kids Club. Lots of time to chat during kids club break, to draw, make long loom bands, playdough creatures and of course it wouldn’t be the end of term without a pizza party celebration.
It’s been a joy having time with you at kids club, on the playground and in the classroom. Enjoy the holidays and I look forward to seeing you all next term.
