I cannot believe I am sitting here writing this at the end of the half term –I know I often say this, but where did the time go?! Having said that, it did feel like a long slog at times and I’m sure that the children are looking forward to the break just as much as the staff are.

This week of course saw our parent consultations and I trust that you found the opportunity to talk to your child’s teacher informative and worthwhile. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to welcome most of you into the school as I was taking part in the Year 6 consultations along with Mrs Cresswell. This is a tradition that started before I took over as head but one which I thought was good to continue as it helps to prepare the oldest children of the school not only for the challenges of their last year here, but also for their next step as they head off to secondary school.

Whatever you are up to during the half term break, I hope that you get to spend some quality time together. Next Saturday of course will see our annual Fireworks display so if you are coming along and you see the staff or me, do say hello. I did tell the children in assembly today that due to the bright spotlights often shining in our direction it can make it difficult to work out who we are talking to, so please do not be offended if we do not recognise you straight away. It will be good to see many of you there though and for those who are coming, enjoy the show!

Bye for now.
