Team calder (year 5)

Good afternoon,

This week, in History, we had a fantastic afternoon with Mr McKenzie who joined us via Zoom and gave us some insight into his family’s WW2 experience in Germany. In English, the children have started their stories about being a soldier on the beach of Dunkirk.  In Science, we have learnt all about water resistance.  In Maths, the children have continued to look at hundredths.

Wednesday is school photograph day. 

On Friday next week we will be visiting Eden Camp. Please ensure consent has been granted via Parent Pay.
