Phenomenal Literacy!

You can find our display outside the staffroom. Well done for all your hard work children.

This is Year 5's fantastic display that is outside the staffroom. At the moment it is empty, but at the end of this week it will be full of your work. The children are re-writing Chapter 5 from 'Grandpa Chatterji' by Jamila Gavin in the first person. They have been working very hard and we are all looking forward to seeing some fantastic writing.
