Welcome to 5/6C

Spring 1 - 2026  

Happy New Year and welcome to the 5/6C class page! It was a fantastic first term and it was so lovely to get to know the class and see the wonderful work that they produced over the term. As we begin (the much shorter) Spring term we are really excited to continue the excellent start that the class made.
