Teaching assistant Rachael Holloway has helped to organise the celebrations. She said:
The children are very excited. They are all looking forward to learning circus skills as part of the celebrations.
It will be nice seeing the whole school together. I can’t wait to see the children’s faces light up when they see the circus. They will make memories to last a lifetime.
