Hi girls,
I hope you're all keeping well, making memories and having fun with your family. I know it is hard to keep motivated to do school work without your friends and teachers so this week I want to see you all getting CREATIVE and having FUN.
It was lovely to see some of you last week from the gates when collecting your copies and books.
Everything for this week will be found on this page!
Have a great week,
Ms Carty.
