P6 visit to Balmoral Show

13th May 2026

What a fantastic day P6 have had at the Balmoral Show. They saw sheep shearing, award winning cows, the pet farm and amazing horses and ponies. They all met the legend Marty Mone who signed their Spar hats and spent lots of money on Grassmen merch, squishies, dumplings and sweets. They were amazed by the brilliant Bolddog FMX motocross stunt show and finished the day with a quick whizz around the stalls in the main hall.  A huge thank you to @amopizzaco for feeding all of the children and staff at lunchtime with delicious pizza and drinks and McCord Machinery for giving them all a snack bag to keep them going through the day. A massive thank you also to Mrs Allen and Mrs Black for their shepherding skills as we guided 28 children around a very busy show - the Dream Team!
