Dear parents and children,
It makes us very sad to have to write this letter and know we won’t get to see all of your faces every day. We have really enjoyed having you in our class this year and you have taught us new things every day. Enjoy your time at home and find opportunities to learn as much as possible. Be active and creative every day and try new things! We looking forward to hearing about it all soon. Take care, Miss Gilday and Mrs Hardie. |
