Welcome to Year 5!

Mrs Barac (5B), Miss Wright (5W) and Mr Trice (5T)

Year 5, like every school year, is busy, action-packed and rewarding. We have exciting topics, lessons, activities and trips planned. We continue to develop our independence as learners, our growth mindsets and our resilience through making and learning from mistakes. We look forward to seeing what the year has to offer and we want the children to have an exciting and fulfilling year.

Please keep an eye on this page for updates of things coming up!
