Friday 28th March

Good evening,

What a great week we’ve had in school!

Thank you to all that joined us for Kestrel sharing assembly today. It was lovely to share our work and share the songs that we enjoy singing each day. Well done to Kestrels who all stood with confidence and spoke nice and clearly.

Well done to the tag rugby team who went to the tournament in CSS on Tuesday. You all showed respect and worked together as a team. We are all really proud of your approach to the sport.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs L. Edgerton
