Badger Class  - Miss Latif 

Dear Parents and Badgers,

The beginning of Summer term has been amazing. We were visited by a dragon and we wrote some amazing adventure stories and we ended the term with two debates with Year 5 and Year 6 challenging each other about whether we should ban plastic altogether and whether children should be allowed to have phones?

We ended the week with a mock Oscars and a well deserved party having saved our Golden Time.

On a personal note I have had a wonderful time with my class and wanted to thank you all for your support with home learning.

The children are a credit to yourselves and to the school and I wanted to say a heartfelt goodbye.

Au Revoir
