Some children who access their learning in Blue Class may take part in different ways or may not join their mainstream class for the Stay and Share event. Ms Babs will discuss the most appropriate option with you for this event.

We look forward to celebrating this festive season with you and thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,
 
Year 5 Team
