    That was the 3rd one at the same school..so there's another 2 sessions to do. Whether it continues next year is another matter...budgets are tight and this is an expensive activity to run, as it needs a lot of staff time, and although I can supply a lot of the stuff free, even at cost price, the materials all stack up.
