I was amazed by the drawings completed by the boys and girls! We certainly have lots of budding artists in our class. Take a look at some of their work.

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. It is hard to believe we have come to the end of January. Unfortunately we have another few weeks of remote learning, but hopefully we will be back at school very soon.
The first signs of spring are beginning to appear, as the lovely snowdrops have arrived in our gardens and along the roadside, so at least we can all look forward to the brighter days ahead!
Thank you for all your wonderful work! I hope you are enjoying the activities - I know I am really enjoying seeing your work and I am very impressed with how well you are all doing!
Take care,
Ms Keenan

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break. Unfortunately, due to school closures, we have to move to remote learning for the next few weeks. Mrs Mills will forward the weekly plan of work to you on Monday. My contact details will be included in this email. It will take a while to get back into the routine of schoolwork again after the long break, while also adjusting to learning from home, so please do not place unnecessary pressure on yourselves to complete all tasks, and only do what you can. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions. Take care and stay safe!
