Hello Year 2!

It is the final week of school before Summer.

It has been such a strange year in Year 2. However, we wanted to say how proud we both are of both classes. It has been amazing to see all of the work produced by you all. You have all worked incredibly hard. A massive thank you to all of the parents as well for your continual support with the online learning.

Have a fantastic Summer with your family and friends when it comes. Good luck in Year 3 and we will miss you all so much!

From Miss Mackenzie and Miss Langthorp
