I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the children for coming back and continuing with their learning as if they never left. It has been clear they missed school and I am proud to teach such wonderful children, with that being said, thank you to you-the parents.
I have had many laughs and jokes this term, my job is all the more rewarding when the children I teach enjoy coming into my classroom.
