Students have previously explored different ways of acknowledging people and use them to say ‘HELLO’.In addition to greeting people, students are encourage to use their eye-contact when greeting. This is a sign thatyou acknowledge the persona and welcome them to the school.

Over the next week I will be on leave, leaving Mrs Le Baq and Ms Bannister in charge. If you have any pressingmatters throughout the week, please don’t hesitate to to email.
