Puffins Class Parent Newsletter Spring 1 2026
Dear Parents,
I hope you are well and had a good Christmas and New Year. It felt like a lovely long and relaxing break and I hope it did for you also. I certainly feel the children deserved their break after their busy nativity rehearsals and then the final performance. We were very proud of all of the children as they did so well. Puffins have returned with no fuss this week and have settled in brilliantly. Maybe the snow had something to do with this?
I look forward to catching up with you at gate and if you do need to pass on a message
or speak to me in person please pop in and see Mrs Bartlett in the school office.
