At our last House meeting of term, all of their children were presented with a little gift from me to say thank you for all of their hard work this term. Not sure that much of their selection packs were left at the end of the meeting...or that they ate much lunch!
Miss Wybar presented her own prize to the House: each week the winners of the 'stars' had their names put into a drum. At our last house meeting we invited Oscar to pull a name out of the drum and the winner was Issy, who received yet more chocolate. Well done.
Once again, my huge thanks to all of the House for an extraordinarily successful term! Have a good rest over Christmas and look forward to another great term from January.
PA, NLM and FMW.
