Autumn Term
What a great start to the new half-term we have had! We are learning all about The Victorians and it has been so much fun! We are also watching Oliver Twist in our English lessons and writing diary accounts of what life must have been like during the Victorian period for children. We can't wait for our Victorian Day, which is coming up in a few weeks. Our PE lessons have also been great, we have all be learning the skills we need to play football, through games and drills!
