Choppington First School recently held a 'Dad's Challenge'. Dads from 20 families (including some mums too) came and spent the afternoon taking part in a fun event, which involved making a family flag and flagpole. Prizes were given for a stand alone structure that would allow you to raise the flag and the highest pole. Everyone had lots of fun, and two hours passed very quickly! The day was a great success and 'Extended Services' in partnership with the school, will be offering more opportunities for family learning over the next few months. The new headteacher, Mrs Hilda Blythe praised the enthusiasm of the parents, who gave lots of their time to encourage their children.
