YEAR 5 - Cannon and Chatsworth

WELCOME TO YEAR 5 FROM YOUR CLASS TEACHERS!

Hi Year 5! I'm Miss Doyle, your class teacher for Y5. I cannot believe that we are already half way through the year – you have all been amazing and I am so excited to continue our learning journey together. I really enjoyed our learning last half term about trade; I was so impressed by how mature you all were when we delved into the important topic of Slavery. This half term, we will be looking at the continent of North America and have lots of exciting opportunities including a ‘North America’ day.

Happy new half term Year 5, from Mr Farmer, your class teacher in Cannon Class. I am over the moon at the amazing work that you have shown me over the last 2 terms and I cannot wait to continue this into the Summer! As always, I look forward to making your learning fun and enjoyable as we delve into our new topic of North America.
