We finished off our Scottish month with a celebration of learning, covering song, poetry and art.

The ground conditions are unsafe after the recent heavy snow falls, so the club has been cancelled this week. Unfortunately, due to
Well, that wasn’t in the plan! What a week in the life of Kirkshaws! Snow, ice and difficult journeys to and from school have made it tricky to function normally at times this week, but thank you all for the efforts you made to send your children daily.
