Book reviews

We are at the moment reviewing our class reader "The world according to Humphrey." We have looked at other books that Betty Birney has written and we have described what Humphrey is like.
Here is a review from amazon.

First Holy Communion

On Saturday 16th May the children in Year 3 will make their first Holy Communion. It marks the end of a long period of preparation in which the children have worked very hard indeed.

We look forward to Saturday.
