Celebration for Canon Judi and Sixth Class
Today, we had our Leavers’ ceremony for Canon Judi and our sixth class girls. As hard as it is to say goodbye, Canon Judi reminded us that time doesn’t stand still and we must look forward to our future. We sent our hopes and wishes for the future in bubbles to Heaven and used our Bouncy Castle to bounce forward. The ice-cream van was an extra special treat!😊 Thank you Canon Judi, and we wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement.
