Dear Parents and Carers,
This week the children have blown me away with their incredible writing. They have been completely engrossed in the story Invisible and have produced some excellent work. Their enjoyment and engagement has been wonderful to see and I know they will be excited to share their writing with you during Parents’ Evening towards the end of this half term.
Have a lovely weekend!
