Reading For Pleasure:

The Explorer by Katherine Rundell

Our Class Saint- St Martin De Porres

During the first week of term, the children researched three different saints. They had a class debate about which saint they thought should be chosen and gave excellent reasons for their choices. The children then voted for the saint they believed should be chosen.

Please check back weekly to see what Year 6 have been up to as they love to share their learning journey!
