Year 6
Mr Barham, Mr Wilson, Mrs Hendy, Miss Mondewa & Miss Casey
- Monday 20th April - Start of Term
- The first week back is Week 2 on the Spring/Summer menu.
- Yr 6 were approached by the Royal British Legion to undertake a very exciting art project called Diversity in War Effort. The children's work will be in an exhibition in July (watch this space!) along with that from other schools. Because the Year 6 art and PE session is Friday afternoon now, each class is going to alternate double art with double PE so we can really get stuck in to the art and let our strengths shine through!
