Y6 child:

“This is the best Penguin joke EVER! Why do penguins stay in Paris? … Freezer Crowd!”

Accidentally on wrong tube from Heathrow after almost 24hrs of travelling, two delayed flights and my suitcase ending up on the wrong plane … but it means I can blow MAMMA MIA! more 25th Anniversary kisses! And 25th Anniversary hugs to you, Mazz Murray ☠️ ! 💙 🏝️ ✨

22 years of friendship, laughter and joy - across the globe! France, Fiji, New Zealand and now Mexico! 🇲🇽❤️

I often wonder which of the children in my class will still be friends a decade, two decades down the line!

Packing is going well …
