Welcome to Year 6
The children have made a fantastic start to Year 6! They have enjoyed spending the last few days getting settled in their new environment and are already proving to be great role models for the younger children in school.
Please find below some information about the autumn term in our class that you may find useful. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. My email address is c.wilkinson103@durhamlearning.net
