Welcome back!
A very Happy New Year to you all and welcome back to school. I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays and are looking forward to the year ahead. The children have all settled back into their school routines very quickly and have been working hard and getting creative!
I look forward to your continued support throughout 2020 and hope that we can all look forward to a very happy and healthy year working together.

Do you have any photographs of children with/around endangered animals or just endangered animals?
