⚾ Children vs Staff Rounders Match! ⚾

What a fantastic morning of rounders! Our children gave it absolutely everything, showing brilliant teamwork, determination and plenty of enthusiasm from the very first ball.

As for the staff... we're still waiting for them to arrive! 😂 (We think they may have left their catching skills in the staffroom!)

After lots of laughs, some questionable fielding, quite a few tumbles and a few very creative interpretations of the rules, the final score was:

🏆 Children: 29
🏅 Staff: 21.5

A huge well done to everyone who took part. Thank you for making it such a fun event with great sportsmanship, lots of cheering and memories that will keep us smiling for a long time.

Congratulations to our well-deserved champions—the children! 🎉👏
