Hello to Holly Class Parents and Carers!

Welcome to a new week! Can you believe it's only 2 weeks until half term?

It has been wonderful getting to know you and your children. The children have been doing a great job of adapting to their new routines in Year 1. I am very proud of them!

I just wanted to remind you that Power Projects are due in this Thursday 14th October. I hope you have enjoyed making them with your child.

Have a good week!
