Afterwards, everyone gathered in the school hall for bacon sandwiches and tea/coffee. Thank you for joining us and for your wonderful comments on our feedback slips - we really do appreciate all of the continued support we receive from our community. Please let us know if you would like to come into school and hear our children read.
