Pupils get an ice cool treat...


YOUNGSTERS from Brook- side Primary School were treated to an ice-cream sam­ pling session at Bashall Barn. Class six pupils were invited


to Bashall Barn by owners Si­ mon and Jenny Barnes who have a son at the school. The couple thought it would be a treat for pupils after they


had worked so hard towards their SATS which they com­ pleted in May. The children watched ice cream being made and were lucky enough to sam­


ple it afterwards, as were the teachers! Staff and pupils at Brook-


side expressed their thanks for such a lovely treat.
