Week beginning 27th March 2017

Wow! Are we really 2/3 of the way through the year already? We have worked especially hard this term to focus on taking ownership of our work, specifically writing, and up-levelling it to the best it can possibly be. We have used the assessment sheets effectively to identify the end of year expectations for year 5 and are proactively working to achieve them. A huge thank you for all your support this term and I hope you have a lovely Easter Break!
