Dear parents/carers,

I have been really impressed with our year 6 children in their attitude and approach to their practice SATS papers this week, Miss Newstead and Miss Fairfax have been really pleased with their ‘can do’ attitude.

It has been great to see all the wonderful Design and Technology work that the Year 4 children have been doing, and I really enjoyed sampling the couscous, well done Year 4!
