Cottingley Primary take over Leeds office!
Office workers were left bemused last week, as children from Cottingley Primary School in Leeds took over the board room and added some sparkle to an otherwise ordinary Friday behind a desk!

The children took part in hands-on workshops, learning how to stay safe around water and dressing up as canal workers from 200 years ago, before heading outside to visit the drained Leeds Lock. They finished the day with a boat trip, thanks to Canal Connections. One pupil exclaimed that the day was "even better than Chester Zoo!". A big thank you is due to volunteers Geoff and Martin who helped make the day such a success.
