Weekly Update - Friday 1st December 2023
Summary of this week:
The highlight of our week has to be our geography fieldwork trip to Spring Grove Park. The children enjoyed exploring our local area and comparing its features to The Alps. We were very proud of the children who remained ready, respectful and safe at all times. A big thank you from all of the Year 5 staff to all of the parents who supported us on this visit. |
Our learning next week:
