May

It is hard to believe there are only two months of school left. I always start to get a little anxious at this time of year when I start to think of all the things that still need to be done, all the curriculum still need to be covered and how little time we truly have.  Somehow or other, each year, they all seem to get finished.  Fingers crossed that it is the same this year!

In case you didn't know, you can find us on Facebook at  New Humble Centre School @ NewHumbleCentre.
