Happy Half Term
As we approach the end of the half term I would like to thank you all again for your help and support during the lockdown.
It has been a challenging and difficult time for us all. We have had to overcome a number of problems but by placing children at the centre of all we do and by working together we have made great progress. Well done everyone!
School breaks up for half term today (Friday 12th February) and remote learning will cease for the half term break.
School reopens for key worker children and vulnerable children on Monday 22nd February at the normal time. Remote Learning for those children at home will recommence on Monday 22nd February.
We hope that during that week we will receive further news from the Government concerning the full return to school and I am hoping for more positive news at that time.
Finally, I wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable half term.

Spring is Coming by Kelly Ehrman
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Birdies build your nests.
Weave together straw and feather,
Doing each your best.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Flowers are coming too.
Crocus, lilies, daffo-dillies,
All are coming through.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
All around is fair.
Shimmer, quiver, on the river,
Joy is everywhere.

Stay safe … and help keep others safe.
