Looking back over the past week, I’m amazed at how we have managed to fit it all in!  We’ve welcomed two new pupils into the Kirkshaws family and it has been so encouraging to see the hand of friendship being offered to both girls by their classmates. Rehearsals in the hall have become more regular, with both the Nursery Nativity and the School Christmas Show looming.  If you are planning
