Happy Half Term! We have officially made it to the break. It has been an incredibly busy few weeks, and there is still so much to look forward to as we move into the final part of the academic year.

Yesterday was a delightfully unusual Friday because I have never been happier to see so many rules being broken! The children looked absolutely fantastic with their crazy hair, and their individuality truly shone through in their choices of comfy clothing.

Snack time was the absolute favourite part of the day, though! It was wonderful to see the children being so kind and sharing with each other, before taking full advantage of the extended playtime and playing so beautifully together in the sunshine.

Classes 2 and 3 have collaborated to create a stunning masterpiece: their 'Tree of Growth'. This beautiful piece of artwork represents and shows their individual achievements from this year, as well as what they hope to achieve next year. I will be sure to share a photo with you all once we have it proudly up on display. Well done everyone, it is fantastic!

The class photos will be sent out after the half-term break. I am sure you are going to love them!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the staff. Their hard work, dedication, and efforts to always go the extra mile to support our children, are what makes our school the special place it is.

Thank you also to you, for your continued support over this busy half term. I hope you have a lovely week with your families, and we look forward to welcoming the children back for our final term of the year.
