Hello everyone,
Many thanks again for all your efforts during the current lockdown. It's not been easy - for families or school - but I think we can be proud of everything we have achieved together this half-term. Thank you also for your kind messages of support and constructive feedback, we really appreciate it.
We hope you all enjoy a well-earned break over the holidays!
If you'd like some activities to keep your children busy, we recommend logging into Mathletics and accessing our Mathletics Half-term Challenge (see Friday's maths lesson on Teams for details).
We have also signed up for a brilliant nationwide art project called Young Artists' Summer Show - an exciting opportunity for students to exhibit their artwork online and at the Royal Academy of Arts. Click here to find out more.
We look forward to seeing you online after the holidays!
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou
