21.01.2022 ......is Ms Bailey an outside the egg carton thinker .....or, is she a bit crazy? If your child is in Y3-6, ask them about an egg-citing project occurring in their egg-cellent classroom - they should know because they calculated that we have just inherited over 2400 egg cartons looking for something to do! Watch this space for more egg-stra special developments hatching ... A special thank you to Detour Logistics for reaching out to see if we could use....two thousand, four hundred and sixty brand new egg cartons. Why, yes of course we can! ......cant we?
