Hi Year 1
Getting to see you all last week was amazing! I loved coming to see what you had been up to and I have missed all of your smiling faces. Not seeing you all over the last few months has been so hard! I have really missed us all being together as a class. Well done for all of your amazing hard work over the past few months. You should all be so proud of yourselves. I hope you enjoy the Summer holidays and make lots of memories with your family and friends. I will be waving through the Year 2 window in September.
Have a brilliant Summer!
Love Miss Duffy xxx

In addition to this, we will not be speaking to parents next week and will continue making calls home week commencing 1st June. As you all know, we love making these phone calls to check to see how you and your family are so we'll look forward to speaking to you all again soon! We hope you have a fabulous half term!
