Welcome to Year 5!

 

We have been impressed with how well the children have settled into their new classes and we have lots of fun topics and lessons planned! We will be starting off with the Anglo - Saxons and Vikings.

 

A reminder that the children will have swimming lessons on a Friday as well as PE on the same day. The children will need to come to school in their PE kits and will get changed at the swimming baths.

 

See the documents below for the Medium Term Plan and the Long Term Plan.

 

Teachers: Mrs Kendall, Mr Bullock, Mrs Reynolds, Mr Hossack

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Perry, Mrs Bale, Mrs Beckett
