Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 27th March 2026
Afternoon all,
Foxes’ and Ark 5 completed their Bikeability training this week, and we were thoroughly impressed by the maturity, confidence and resilience that they demonstrated throughout. We hope they all had a fantastic time!
Once again, please pass on our thanks to all of the children for their hard work this term. We continue to be immensely proud of them- each of them are amazing, and we are lucky to be their teachers. We hope you all have a wonderful, safe, and restful Easter, and we look forward to welcoming your children back in a fortnight’s time.
