Presentation Primary School

Welcome back after the Easter break. We are back distance learning and sharing some of the wonderful work that our pupils are doing at home. Please feel free to send me on your pictures, stories, photos or whatever you are happy to share. Elle in 6th Class was certainly busy over the Easter. She completed these two very challenging jigsaws and is also becoming a very talented artist. I hear she is taking inspiration from Bob Ross on YouTube should you wish to try it. Well done Elle – Perhaps I could buy one of those pictures for my office? Read more
