I organised grandparents day with the parents association. I helped set up the room, talked with grandparents about the school, about their own school lives and their grandchildren. I also sourced buns and biscuits, set up tea and coffee and circulated the classes with the grandparents. I also created display boards for the entrance of the school and displays for different classes for Grandparents Day. There was some lovely pictures taken from Grandparents Day
