Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 17th October 2025
Summary of this week:
Afternoon all,
I wanted to start by acknowledging all the hard work that your children have put in this half term. They have absolutely worked their socks off, and they are continuing to grow into fantastic young adults- we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. We hope you all have an enjoyable, restful and safe half term, and we look forward to welcoming your children back to an equally brilliant and festive Autumn 2.
Many thanks,
Mr Lowe
