I HOPE you are all settling in at school, having moved up to a new year or even to a new school.

It is always great fun coming in to meet you and seeing all the interesting things you are doing.

I loved having a flick through the pictures of me at your schools, where I often get to join in with events like sports day, special assemblies and I even try my best to help with your schoolwork.
