What an exhusting, warm and yet exciting week it has been to finish our penultimate half term of the year! The first half of the week has been different for the children, with Mr O’Shea taking charge of the classroom whilst I was on residential. He could not have been more complimentary of the children and the level of respect, kindness and attitude that they had shown him- you did me proud! The end of the week has been action packed too with us having our forest school takover day, which the children and staff loved! (some of us enjoyed this a little too much). On Friday, many of our Year 5 members represented our school in the annual swimming gala competition, an event that often carries a lot of pressure and excitement- the children did themselves and the school very proud.
