A busy week!, by Mrs Pratten

Date: 10th Feb 2017 @ 10:13pm

The Tigers have had a busy week moving out of their old classroom and into their new "home" for the next few weeks. They have all been brilliant and are starting to get to grips with new routines. We had fun this afternoon spending a last afternoon in our old classroom having our art lesson. We enjoyed the space and for once could be messy!!

Hope you all have a great half term week, keep safe and have fun, Mrs Prattensmiley
