Week 9 Ava Ross

Ava Ross has been amazing in remote learning, often adding extra to her work to make it even better. She is always enthusiastic and completes all tasks with a smile. Ava is at all times polite, kind and thoughtful.

Oli has completed every single task set during remote learning and is always beautifully presented. He has a wonderful sense of humour, is knowledgeable and has a keen interest about many subjects.  Oli always follows school rules, is a kind, respectful and happy classmate who always does his best. Well done Oli!

Mr Butts' Jokes!

 

The other day I saw an ice cream, a donut and a cupcake walking down the road.  The streets were strangely desserted that day! 

 

Child: Why is that book so thick Dad?

Dad:  It's a long story son.

 

Take Care Everyone.
