Whiteley Year 2 2023 - 24

Today in assembly we had an unexpected visitor. Her name was Professor Phoenix and she is a dragonologist. We went out into the woods to look for dragon clues - don't worry, the dragon she is looking for is vegetarian! (In fact he seems to like eating chips!) Please keep an eye out for any further strange happenings in Whiteley over the holiday!

  What a great half term we have had! Thank you for all of your support with settling the children into Year 2. They have well and truly earned their week's break!
