which is our true home

and always was.

A reminder that swimming is on Thursday afternoon and PE is on Friday afternoon.

We  have started back to swimming and the children are trying very hard. Yesterday Kwabena received the first certificate of the term.

We hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you a happy new year.
