Year 1

What a brilliant day! We dressed in red, white and blue and learnt about the royal family. We celebrated with lots of cake and an old fashioned tea dance.

These can be easily resolved with a chat. Bullying is a  much more serious issue and occurs when these small quarrels become relentless and happen everday. We […]
