YEAR 6 CLASS NEWS
Fri 17 Apr 2026It has been great to see everyone after the Easter break. All of the children are working so hard in their booster sessions - we're really impressed with the effort and resilience being shown. Another reason to be proud of our Year 6 children - the behaviour and maturity shown during our trip to the Holocaust Centre was excellent. It isn't any easy topic to learn about but our children were thoughtful and respectful throughout and there were some great questions. To end the week, we also visited St Helen's church for our whole school Easter service.
Have a great weekend,
Miss Ottowell and Miss Carmichael
