Kingfishers - Class 4
Kingfishers Class
We are a Class of Year 5 pupils. During our time in Class 4, we get to have lots of fun experiences, including Bellboating (in the summer months), attend residential and perform in our End of summer show! It is also the Year 5 children's final year at school, so we work really hard and we are really busy preparing for middle school!
Things to remember!
On Wednesday and Fridays, children need to remember to bring in their PE kits. For the remainder of the year, these lessons will be outside, so please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for the weather. In this first term, we will also be in forest school. Please bring a spare pair of long sleeved trousers and tops, together with boots and a waterproof coat.
Every day, your child should bring into school:
- Reading book
- Water bottle
- Coat (weather depending)
