This week 
What a crazy first week back we have had! Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for all their support, it has been a tricky week but we have made it. As I am sure you are aware, the pressure is still not perfect within school so we are having further investigations carried out. We are hopeful that there will not be any further disruptions, but I wanted to just keep everyone informed that things have not been resolved just yet! Year 6 had a great WOW day to start off their WW2 topic on Tuesday and it was wonderful to see the children so immersed in their day. As the weather is pretty difficult at the moment, we have noticed that children's feet are getting wet at break and lunch and then they are wanting to take their shoes off when they come in. If you are able to bring in wellies / another pair of outdoor shoes or trainers, that the children could keep in a small bag on their peg (named please), that would be amazing! We have got a busy half term this term and I am looking forward to sharing all the fun and exciting things we get up to. Have a wonderful weekend.
