Autumn 2 Week 6

Another week has flown by in Year 5.It’s hard to believe it’s Friday again! Today was very exciting and it was wonderful to see the children in their festive jumpers! They really looked the part for meeting Santa!

Also this week, we made angels of hope from clay. We will paint them next week and I’m looking forward to seeing the results.

Have a wonderful weekend.
