Alice in Wonderland Day (Friday, 27 November)

We are celebrating the 150^th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland on Friday 27^th November. We would love the children to dress up as characters from Alice.

The teachers have planned activities around a creative curriculum to celebrate the book and we are looking forward to the day.
