We love you Mama Sue

Mama's birthday was just the best reason to party.
Everyone in the family loves our Mama Sue so they wanted to make it a very special day indeed.
Mama and Papa arrived to a musical welcome with the kids singing in full voice.
The children planned every detail of the morning including the programme of entertainment and games.

Their was a catwalk show, musical chairs, a dancing competition, along with apple bobbing,a magic show and acrobatics.
Form 1 students prepared a surprise dance routine which involved getting Mama, Papa, Uncle Billy and Auntie Rose up on the floor to join in.
To finish off there as a tug-of-war contest. Home staff took on and beat school staff; Secondary kids won their pull against Primary kids,  and to much excitement  a girls team beat the  the boys,
Afterwards their was lunch of pizza, ice lollies and, of course, birthday cake.
It was a wonderful party, full of love and laughter, for a wonderful Mama.
