We have had a lovely week back, the children have settled back to school well and really enjoyed seeing their friends again. Mrs Thomson and I have both enjoyed the week too and are very proud of our fabulous Koalas.
It’s been lovely to catch up with all you parents too and thank you again for all you have done at home with the children during this very strange time for us all. ( this may have been cooking with the children, teaching them to ride their bike, gardening skills etc or more formal home learning, as always , we really appreciate your support. )
Hope you enjoy your weekend and the children have a well earned rest, see you all next week, let’s hope it’s a bit cooler!!!!!!

We’d like your support to get this message out. Please let your wider school and leadership team know about this opportunity so that you can all share it with your school community.
