Loanhead Gala Day & Fancy Dress Parade - 14th June

Our Community Nursery and ASC children and staff are dressing up in army camourflage. We will also be dressing up the bus. We will be hiding where's Wally and friends amongst the army camo faces that the children have drawn. I wonder who will spot the Wally's on our journey?

If you would like to join us in the parade it would be great if you could come dressed in army camo too. As this is an out of school activity, we ask that you take responsibility of your own children.
