Moira Demesne in danger! ⚠️

The children of P4 are OUTRAGED! We have received news in our story box that a horrible man called Paul Barnes is planning to build 257 house on our beautiful Moira Demense! The children of P4 will be working very hard over the next few weeks to ensure this does not happen! They are passionate about saving the habitats for our wildlife, our outdoor classroom and the area for the community! We will keep you up to date with our progress!
