Today we were visited by Year 4 who read us the fairy tales they have been writing. Then we had Christmas dinner and enjoyed a party this afternoon! What a busy day!

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a restful holiday.

 

 

 

2P investigated symmetry today and made these amazing patterns!

We were all very proud of you at last week’s Pre Prep performance.  You spoke confidently and clearly, sang with enthusiasm and shone very brightly in your colourful costumes.

Well done!
