Welcome to Vauxhall Bridge Class.
Class teacher: Mr Shahzar
Teaching assistant: Mrs Hunjan
Our children have enjoyed the walk around the local area and a big thank you to all the parents for the continued support. We are continuing to learn about Croydon – transport, parks, libraries, restaurants, shops etc..
English
We have an exciting new text called ‘Lila and the Secret of the rain’. Your children will be able to understand about ‘Journey stories’ as well as develop an understanding of contrasting localities which is linked to our geography topic. They will be able to compare and contrast Croydon (UK) with Kenya focusing on climate, weather conditions, physical (hills, mountains, lakes) and human features ( houses, town, village ).
