Latest News for Mortimer – 18.10.21
The 1st half term of the year is nearly over as the leaves begin to fall and the nights get much darker. It has been a busy six weeks so far, with the issues of the school roof feeling a long time ago. Soon we will be singing Christmas carols and getting ready to pop tea towels on shepherds heads, but until then there is a lot happening…
