A lovely day was had by all on a sunny Sunday in May at our Annual Duck Race. The children designed little boats that were then sailed down the river. There was a competition for best designed boat. The ducks were released and Calum Hankin’s duck won the race. The children enjoyed the Hook-a-Duck, duck Egg-and-Spoon races, hot-dogs and ice-creams. Thanks to all involved for your hard work.
