Hello Year 5!  I hope you have all had a wonderful summer and enjoyed a well-deserved break! I’m so excited to welcome you all to our new class and I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow. I’m looking forward to getting to know the children and having a fantastic year together! Here are a few important bits of information to help us get off to a smooth start: Reading Records If your child already has their orange reading record, please bring it into school tomorrow. If they don’t have one, don’t worry — I will issue them with a new one. Classroom Equipment There is no need for children to bring their own classroom equipment into school. Everything they need, including stationery and other classroom resources, will be provided by the school.

School Day School starts: 8:40am School finishes: 3:20pm Children should ...

Although it's time for you to begin your next adventure in Year 6, I know you will all continue to work hard, be kind and make yourselves proud. I wish you eve...
