Year 5 2025 - 2026

I hope that you have all had a fantastic break! This half term, Year 5 will be starting their Ukulele tuition with Mrs Ashton. If your child has permission to take it home, please ensure it comes back into school each Thursday ready for the next lesson.

This half term, Mrs Robinson will teach Year 5 every Wednesday, when I will have my PPA time (planning, preparation and assessment time).

I am very much looking forward to a happy and productive year together!
