Welcome Back
After an unusual number of months away from school, it was lovely to welcome all the children back into their new classes. They settled down well and have been following the new guidelines that we have in place to keep them and us safe. The children all looked lovely and smart with some snazzy new haircuts and uniforms. Hearing the laughter at break time was lovely. I overheard a snippet of conversation between 2 friends telling each other how much they had missed each other. How lovely to know that friendship can be re-kindled and their bond was still there. We would like to thank all parents and carers for their help in bringing their children to school in an orderly fashion enabling them to settle into class as quickly as possible.
