At the Dubble

Does your class deserve a treat? Dubble, maker of the fair-trade chocolate bar backed by Comic Relief, is offering a box of chunky Dubble bars for a class nominated by a Friday reader every week this term. To tell us why your kids deserve them, email friday@tes. co.uk, marking your message Dubble offer.

Sue Grundy and her Year 6 class at Long Furlong primary in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, are this week’s winners. They were nominated by Rose Marie Smith, the school’s admin assistant, who says Mrs Grundy has brought many strengths to the school since she arrived last September and that the children are a fantastic bunch, cheerful, supportive and kind.
