The children in Year 1 had a lovely time at St Nicholas’ Park on Friday.
Also on Friday, Year 5 had a very enjoyable visit to the Sealife Centre.
The Open Afternoon on Monday was well attended, and gave parents and carers a chance to see some of the work that the children have been doing this year.
All of the children spent a morning in their new classes with their new teachers on Tuesday.

Goodbye and Good Luck to:

Jackie Sawdon’s temporary contract has come to an end. She has been a very popular class teacher, and we wish her all the best for the future.
