A PLAYGROUP in Swinton has bid a fond farewell to its Class of 2018.

Eight children took part in a graduation ceremony at playgroup, watched by their family, and each received a scroll, learning journals and a framed picture of themselves wearing their mortar boards and gowns.

Jennie Smith, playgroup leader, said: “The children were all so proud to receive their scrolls and evidence of all their hard work at Swinton Playgroup. All the parents took lovely photos of the children and it was a very proud occasion for all and extremely emotional for the staff. All the children celebrated their success with an end of term party with a Disney theme this year.

“We wish all our lovely children a very happy and successful transition into their next adventure in life. A big cheer to a successful future and happy school life.”
