Golden Children 3rd November 2011

Kayne: Kayne has shown real determination to prove himself with positive behaviour and attitude to his learning in class.
Karis: Karis is slowly coming out of her shell and is keen to join in with all the activities in class and share her ideas. She is always fantastically behaved and I can trust her to be doing the right thing
