Headteacher’s Comments
This week we Mrs Campbell has organised a ‘Giant Reading Week’ where all the children were mixed up and read stories around Giants. It was a great success and I know the children enjoyed the stories that were read to them. The question remains ‘Was it all the giant’s fault in Jack and the beanstalk?’
Achievements
