I can't believe this year is now over! It has absolutely flown by, but as they say 'time flies when you're having fun!' We have had an amazing year and I'm so proud of what the children have achieved through all their hard work!
We have had two special assemblies this week, the first was to say good bye to Miss Sheffield, Mrs Fowler and Mrs Sharrocks, who are all starting new jobs in new schools. We will miss them very much, but wish them the best of luck! The second assembly was to celebrate all the children's achievements this year, and also to say good bye to Year 6, who we also wish the best of luck as they start their new journey through high school.
Have a lovely break, see you in September!
