Fun for all in Parents' Week

Beach parties, music days and craft sessions were held to celebrate last week's Parents' Week (21-27 October) amid revelations that Posh and Becks are out and parents are in as the role models for most children.

Sure Start administrator Leone Pavlidou said, 'We had a lovely day and it was very sunny as we played games, made sandcastles and collected shells on the beach.
