Welcome to Blackfriars Bridge Class

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#eef214″ border_width=”5″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]School breaks up for the summer holidays on Tuesday. We are aware that many children still have tasks to finish off from our previous class blogs so we have not set new work. We would suggest that children use the two days to catch up on work. We hope that the children will have as normal a summer as possible so that they arrive back at school in September feeling refreshed. We would, however, encourage the children to keep up with their reading over the holidays as a priority. We are also suggesting some websites that the children can use if they wish to continue with some learning at home. [/dropshadowbox]

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#faf42d” border_width=”3″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]We have loved teaching Waterloo and Blackfriars Classes and were really sorry that our time in the classroom with them was cut short. We have been really impressed with a lot of the home learning we have seen this term. We hope that all families have a great summer and wish the children well as they progress to year 4. Kind Regards Mrs Fallon and Miss Wheeler. [/dropshadowbox]
