March Newsletter

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

I hope you all had a nice St. Patrick’s Day. The weather has been beautiful - it certainly helps to lift peoples’ spirits!

Monday 15th March saw the return to school of our 3rd to 6th class pupils. We were delighted to welcome them all back. The teachers know how important it is to allow time for the boys and girls to settle back to school and adapt to school procedures and routines again. They will create opportunities for the children to talk and discuss, in order to re-establish relationships and to support learning across the curriculum. We have also enjoyed lots of outdoor learning activities this week. This will help to promote physical activity and positive wellbeing, one of the key priorities for us at this time.
