We also want to say a huge thank you to Mrs Murray and all the staff members who have been volunteering in school with our lunches. A shout to Isaac who has been making posters for key workers and handed in a pocket hug and kindness bracelet. A big well done to one of our P 1/2 children who made a rainbow for her classmates to say to stay safe.
