Dee may return to us on the 25/5/09 and we may need to say sad farewell to Katie. Katie has worked tirelessly over the past few weeks setting up the process forthe transition room and has worked way over her casual hours of pay. We think she is great so please pass on some words of praise this week to her. She will be back in week 6 and I will try for a few more weeks.

The care taken with headphones is appaling and the kids need to look after them better. I have removed all headphones and each class has to borrow a box of them from Jamie's cupboards. They will be numbers and each child will be given a number and they need to be checked when returned at the end of the lesson. Can I ask all staff to be diligent with this, it is a waste of money otherwise.
