We have had a busy and exciting first week back after the Christmas holidays. We have begun our new class topic -The Romans – and are really enjoying this so far.

This term, primary four are going to have gym on Mondays and Tuesdays. Can you please make sure appropriate gym kits are brought in on these days.
