  Year 1 Assemblies:

  Well done to Elm Class and Olive Class children who performed their class assemblies with enthusiasm this week. Elm children shared their learning all about the seven continents and Olive Class children shared their English and PSHE learning using the book ‘Ruby’s Worry’. It was lovely to welcome parents to these events. We were very proud of their performances, especially their wonderful singing.
