17th June 2022

Days like today are what memories of primary school are made of! Blue, blue skies and bright summer sunshine, stories in a shady spot, playing on the school field, summer dresses, hats and shorts!  Frozen Friday, with children (and staff!) leaving school with sticky lollies and ice creams, excitedly sharing plans for paddling pools and sprinklers, completes the wonderful summer scene. Knowing the weather is set to change makes it all the more important to make the most of these summer days and, today of all days, it is a reminder that life is short - enjoy every single moment.
 
With very best wishes for a wonderful summer evening and a peaceful weekend.
