Welcome to Brazil

Class teachers: Mrs Stoneham and Mrs Brown

Our class is made up of enthusiastic and creative Year 5 children. At the beginning of September we discussed how we wanted our learning environment to be and the class rules which helped us to create our class Code of Conduct. As class we enjoy all aspects of school life and this term we are focusing on the environment which will include building our own wildlife area. This is something we are really excited about.
