PHOTO OF THE WEEK
Hebron staff and students had a "Wacky Wednesday" on Wednesday 18th August. Based on the Dr Seuss book Wacky Wednesday, where a boy wakes up to find a shoe on the wall, a tortoise in a tree and a pig without legs, the staff and students were invided to be wacky for the day. Children arrived at school in pyjamas, fairy outfits, clothes worn back to front and underpants on the outside of their trousers! There is a rumour circulating that the Principal, Mr Matthews dressed up as a fireman and went around the school squirting staff and students with a CO² fire extinguisher...surely not! A great day was had by all who participated. Click the photo to see an enlargement.
