Happy Summer Holidays, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 26th Jul 2017 @ 1:37pm
Well we have made it! It's hard to believe that we have come to an end of Year 2, the year has truly flown by.
The children have had an amazing year. They have worked hard and both Mrs Woolley and I are very proud of each and every one of them. Appreciation has been this year's word and the Bongos have embraced it. They appreciate each other, themselves, other people and living each moment to the full.
I have enjoyed teaching the class, being with them has deepened my belief that teaching is the best job in the world.
Thank you for your support this year it really is appreciated.
Finally a huge thank you for all of the wonderful gifts, cards and kind words. It is very kind of you and very much appreciated.
Have a lovely summer , hopefully the sun will shine.
Mrs Fletcher 😀☀️

The final 3 days In Year 4 have been very memorable. We have had a massive surprise as the ice-cream van has come and given us some ice lollies and ice-cream. We could have any ice lolly on ice cream under £1.20.
We enjoyed ourselves and most of us now have blue mouths so sorry about that parents! Parents Note: please make sure your child brushes his or her teeth thoroughly before going to bed. 😀 🍦

Children should bring in at least 1 plastic bag if not more into school on Monday. We would also like board games in school that include a dice if your child is happy and we will try not to loose the pieces or damage them (Monopoly is a good choice).

Jesus Feeds the 5000 with Peter Bourne, by Miss Adamson
Date: 15th Jul 2017 @ 10:35am
We were very fortunate to have a visit from local artist, Peter Bourne, who invited us to be part of his artwork to be displayed in New Longton Methodist Church. The children all painted themselves in a giant painting of Jesus feeding the 5000. Pete also helped us to make our own version just for our school. This will be displayed in St Andrew's Church.
