Mrs N’s Notes ~ 28th June 2019

It’s a time of badges, certificates, medals, trophies, recognition awards, prizes and ‘seeing’ of high achievement.  It is a pleasure to share in each celebration of success. This week we have done this with our P7 leavers, our Nursery Graduates and many others. However, I read this last week and thought it appropriate to share. To every pupil of Kirkshaws, know this: I SEE YOU. To the child who conquered
