Welcome to this week’s blog spot. The Year 4 are getting really excited about their trip to Dearne Valley, Kingswood. The weather in Doncaster doesn’t look that bad either so hopefully we will have a good few days. The children should have brought home a list of what they need for the trip. If your child has not then please see the class teacher or Mrs James. There are seven members of staff accompanying the children and I am sure we will have a great time.
