Weather: My favourite season
What is your favourite season? Why is it your favourite?
Last week was a particularly busy one. Miss McNevin joined us and has been a fantastic asset to our class. The children enjoyed their visit to the Life Education van and their CHIMES lesson with Mark. They participated in what was a very emotional Anzac Day ceremony. I was very proud of them and, in particular, Amelie and Annika, who spoke about their great grandfather, Victor Hiscock, who fought in France during World War 1.
Thank you to Mrs Sheath, who took some great photos of the children on the last day of term 1.
