Martha Turns Six
Martha has recently celebrated her 6th birthday - she had a lovely time at school where she went to the front in Friday morning assembly and everyone sang Happy Birthday.
Martha also really enjoyed her birthday outing to see the Quince Players pantomime Rumpelstiltzkin. Many thanks to the Quince Players for being so welcoming to Martha on a snowy Sunday afternoon.
