Well done to all the children who received a certificate on the windy day!

Today we also say goodbye to Mrs Rossington, who will be on maternity leave until October. We all wish her very well and look forward to meeting Luigi (if you were in assembly, you will get the joke).

Happy Friday everyone.

Well done to these superstars. Mabel is great at reading her fast words and some Year 2 children have worked really hard on their introductions to a non-chronological report!
