Welcome in Autumn 2 – 2nd November 2020

November 1, 2020

Dear all,

Welcome back to a new half-term. Leading up to Christmas, there will be many exciting things to learn and do. For many, this is the best, but also most exhausting half-term as the nights get longer and the weather teases us almost daily.

 

Should you be absent, please check out Google Classroom for the slides to our lessons and follow them.
