Cotswold Power Puffs Touch Team

A big ka pai to all of you for having an awesome touch season.

Jo and I have loved coming down to support the girls each week and it has been incredible to see how much they have all improved in a short space of time.

Thank you also to parents and other family members for coming and supporting us and the girls each week - we really appreciate it!

Please remember to return the touch tops back to either Jo (Room 4) or myself (Room 2) this week.

Thanks again,

Sam & Jo
