Happy New Year! We are delighted to see P1 pupils return to school, we have missed seeing their cheery faces! The P1 team have lots of exciting learning and play activities to explore with the children and are looking forward to the year ahead. For the remainder of this week for homework, we shall be revising our learning from last year.

Just look at the progress P1 have made since Term 1 with their self-portraits!
