  Just in case you are feeling a little glum, this young man will put a smile on your face, like he did last week for me on St Patricks Day!!  With all those rainbows out there you may find him at the bottom of one or two. 

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

• Home Learning CELEBRATION

  Fri 27 Mar 2020 M.Jones

  Hi Everyone, 

   

  Well done on a brilliant week of home learning. We have been been super impressed with all your posts on Seesaw and Tapestry.  Some of you have been clocking up minutes and progressions on Maths Whizz (have a look at the data picture), well done. 

   

  Have a look at the photos and see if you are featured in this week ‘well done’ photos!

   

  Keep it up everyone, one more week until the Easter Holidays.  A big thank you to Mrs Phillips for keeping us fed in the hub for key worker children, we are really grateful!

   

  Good luck next week everyone, stay in, stay safe, do your Joe Wicks Everyday and find something to be happy about.  We are all in this together. 

   

  Take care!
