Class 5 Spring Term News

The children all appear to have had a good Christmas and are settling back to work well.

They seem to be enjoying our new topic ‘Stars and Stripes’ and hopefully they should be able to name and locate several American states after Thursday’s afternoon of map work!

I’ve attached our class newsletter below giving you an outline of some of the areas we will be covering this term. Please do not hesitate to speak to myself or another member of staff in Class 5 if you have any questions at all.

Y5/6 Quick Sticks

Well done to the Y5/6 children who took part in the Quick Sticks hockey event at The Corbet today. It was pretty chilly to say the least but the speed of the games certainly warmed up the team!
