Art is on Tuesday, I have your T-shirts from reception.
A reminder that all uniform should be clearly labelled, as well as your water bottle.

Our snack tray will be stocked each day with a choice of two fruits or vegetables, however you are most welcome to bring your own healthy snack for our morning breaktimes.

‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard’

A.A. Milne

Gosh I don’t even know where to start, I have loved joining the Our Ladys family this year and you have been so welcoming and supportive.

First of all thank you for the effort you all put in to make that incredible video, I have watched it many times and cried! The lovely words from you all have also made me cry and I am grateful that I have been lucky enough to teach your amazing children this year. I am very proud of them and I love them all. Finally thank you for all the presents I have been spoilt.

This week we have enjoyed making butterflies, watching Year 6s brilliant performance of Charlie and the choclate factory, watching Matilda and so much more.

Let’s Celebrate:

Well done to our awardees, this week the children voted and gave wonderfull reasons why auch as you are kind and compassionate, you play with everyone and you are a good friend.
