Welcome to Year 6

 

We are looking forward to seeing you in September and can’t wait to start our new exciting learning.

 

Your class teachers will be Mrs Fox. Miss Khatun and Mr Deery.

 

In year 6, each day will start with a morning task to get your brains warmed up while we take turns to wash our hands and prepare for the day ahead.

 

One of the teachers will always be there to welcome you in so remember to say good morning and share a smile.
