Extra Time in Leiston
The Extra Time season in Leiston starts after Easter this year.
By way of an introduction (and also to say sorry for having to postpone last year) we visited the whole of Year 5 today, for a catch up about football at Garretts Engineering works – and to make some football characters.
It was a delightful afternoon – the children were brilliant and really helpful, the staff couldn’t have been nicer and we’re all really looking forward to coming back in April.
In the meantime, here’s just a small sample of all the dashing, imaginative and inventive footballers the children made.

‘'Delightful', 'Proud', 'Content', 'Relaxed', 'Really funny', 'Brilliant'. Just a few of the words chosen by Year 5 pupils to sum up how they felt about the Extra Time session.’
