Good afternoon to all,

It was great to see so many of you at parent consultations morning and evening yesterday.
The children have settled extremely well into the routine and expectations of Year 2, I'm sure like me you are very proud of their progress.

I will write a brief insight of the topics we will be covering over the holiday.

Have a fun, relaxing half term and I look forward to seeing you at the fireworks on Sunday 3rd.
Regards
Mrs Beadle
