Welcome to Year 6!

We are Yew Class and we are the oldest children in the school.  We're excited to be taking on new challenges and responsibilities around the school.

Our teacher is Mr Bond.  We also lucky enough to have Mrs Andrews, Mrs Mitchell, Mr Adams to help us learn.

Our PE days are Monday and Friday - so we come to school in our PE kit on these days.
