Well done for a fantastic start to Year 6! I hope you all have a wonderful half term.

Please continue to read as much as possible over the half term and review the spellings you have learnt this half term. There is no writing task this half term, as I would like you all to spend some time learning your lines and song lyrics for our Remembrance assembly. You can find the links for the songs (and dance if you are in the performance) in the space below.
