Welcome to the 5/6A class page! It was a fantastic first half term and we have managed to fit in a huge amount of learning, as well as a brilliant trip to the Tower of London and the Year 6s heading off for their week long, action-packed residential! We hope you had a good half term break and we are excited to start where we left off and slowly build up to Christmas.
