Year 5/6 Autumn Term 1 2025

Welcome to a new school year! I am so excited to be stepping back into Y5/6 and cannot wait for all the adventures and learning that we are going to undertake together this year. Mrs Croft

For our first half-term this academic year, we have a geography-based topic: North America         

How is life in North America different to the UK?

We will be learning all about North America through our English and Geography lessons.
