June 2025

This June,  some children in 4th class proudly earned their pen licences, a reflection of their hard work all year and neat cursive handwriting!  Also, 4th class have done a great job with their violin lessons all year with Maria. They've shown real effort in learning new songs and performed with growing confidence. I’m proud of their progress and how well they worked together as a class. Enjoy your Summer break :)

May 2025

May was full of sunshine and smiles in 4th Class! We’ve been making great progress in the garden—our tomato plants are growing nicely, and the class has really enjoyed looking after them and watching them grow!
