Class 5
Year 5 2020-2021
The Class Teacher is Miss Phillips and the Class LSA is Miss Arnold.
Our topic to start the Autumn Term is Rainforests. The children have chosen this topic themselves and have planned according to the 6 Areas of Learning and 4 Core Purposes, what they would like to do. We are hoping to organise a field trip to support our learning and further our life experiences.
