Once again I’d like to thank all of the parents, staff andchildren for their patience and support in making thishappen.

THANK YOU!!!!

All our teachers have been super-stars but we just wanted to say an extra thank you to Miss Smith for all the additional work she has done during remote learning – she always goes above and beyond! I have lost count of the number of parents who have said how wonderful she has been - creating personalised collections of art materials for individual families, dropping them off at homes door-steps and all in the aid of supporting children’s learning. She will hate me for celebrating her publicly in this way but I think she deserves a special mention!

Stay safe, love each other and have a great weekend and we will all be together

again next week!!!!
