Byron Road Summer School
6th August -10th August
Year 4 and year 5 pupils from Saxon Way, Burnt Oak and Byron School had the chance to take part in a week of fun activities.
18 children enjoyed a week of arts and crafts, trampolining at the Rebound Centre and picnics. Each child had the opportunity to make a mini-book, which could be decorated any way they wanted. The children then turned into racing drivers and created their own model cars.
During the creative week, the children also had the chance to make scoobies, coloured fridge magnets and badges. They also enjoyed baking cakes for their very own party.
