Hi all,

I hope you've had a lovely weekend.  I'm really pleased to be back at school this week now that I am feeling better.  Thank you to those that have sent me get well wishes and for those in school that helped make my card.  A massive thank you to my amazing colleagues for holding the fort and for taking over the online learning whilst I've been in bed!

I hope you enjoy your learning this week and can't wait to see what you've been doing.  I'm hoping to arrange another Zoom meeting, so watch this space for your invite.

Take care,

Mrs Hall x
