22nd-26th February
Welcome back everyone!
We hope you've had a great half term and enjoyed plenty of fun and relaxation after a busy term of home learning. We're really missing you all and hoping it won't be too much longer until we can all be together again. In the meantime, we'll continue to make the most of catching up and having some fun on our Zoom calls. These will remain on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9am for Blackbird class and 11.30am for Chaffinch class.
Last term we were very impressed with how hard you worked on the learning set. Keep up the great work this term. We love to hear how you are all getting on so please continue to keep in touch and share your work with us. Have a good week!
