We just wanted to take this time to say well done to all children who have had to isolate over this last term. We have been so proud of how you have adapted to and shown great resilience with your remote learning. You seem to be enjoying completing your learning over Google Classrooms and it’s been lovely to see so many of you on the live lessons. Also a huge thank you to all parents and carers for supporting your children during this time we know it isn’t easy, especially if you are also working from home, and we appreciate all that you are doing to help your child/ren and school.
