W.O.W.!
Wonders of Wetheringsett - April 2014
It’s been another very busy half term with all sorts of activities going on in school from trips to India, a Maths Day and a visit from our MP and a Wellie Walk to mention just a few.
It was lovely to see so many parents join us at this morning’s assembly to celebrate Mrs Miller’s career and wish her well on her retirement. The school will not be the same without her, but we look forward to working with Mrs Fenning and Mrs Taplin and recruiting a new permanent teacher from September
A very happy Easter and we look forward to welcoming children back to school on Wednesday 23rd April.
