We made it!
Thank you to everyone who came to our party and for being so patient when I had some technical issues. I hope you all had fun and enjoyed seeing each other.

You have all been a brilliant class this year. Thank you. You all continue to be so kind, patient and hardworking through the tricky times that we've had. You have had to be so flexible and have always accepted changes and things that have been different. Well done to each one of you :) 

Good luck to the Y1 children, I know Miss Gibbings really liked talking to you today and she's really looking forward to getting started with excited learning opportunities with you all in September. Thank you for a fun two years together.

YR - You will come back to us as such grown up Y1s and we are really looking forward to having more fun with you. 

Keep reading over the Summer holidays as we know how important it is for everything we do in our lives and helps our brains to grow! :)


Have a fantastic summer, stay safe, keep well and we'll see you in September. 
Mrs Counsell, Mrs Fernie and Mrs G.
