Welcome to Years 5 & 6
Hello and welcome to our class page.
This half term our Christian value is Respect and our daily collective worship will focus on this value.
This half term in English, the children will be developing their descriptive writing techniques, consolidating previously taught grammatical features as well as deepening their understanding of complex sentences. Our whole class text is 'The Last Bear,' and our writing will link to our text. We will also be producing a newspaper report.
