Into the Summer Holidays …

July 19, 2020

… we go.

A very warm welcome to the last days in Year 5,

what a strange, challenging, rewarding and fantastic time it has been in many different aspects!

While Monday and Tuesday have our last prescribed lessons, please make sure that you are working very hard to revise and prepare for next year. Some of you will be doing the 11+ tests, others might have separate Secondary School tests and other might not take any tests. In any case, the last year of preparing you for the big, wide world is upon you and we feel your excitement and worries.

Have a fantastic 2/5 of a school week and a smashing summer break.

With a huge hug from your Year 5 team.

Here are the “click-able“ links from the picture above:

From your Year 5 team
