Welcome to Class 4's page.

Class 4 is made up of Year 5 and Year 6 children and is taught by Mrs McGarrigle.

Autumn Term 2025

Welcome back!

I hope that you have all had a lovely summer and are looking forward to the year ahead. I am so excited to be back and the children have already made a great start over the first few days. I am sure it won’t betoo long before they settle into/back into the key stage 2 way of life!

This half term we have a history focus, we are looking at The Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Scots. We will be investigating the power struggle for Britain and discussing whether Alfred deserved his title‘The Great’.

Our English lessons this year will based on two fantastically immersive books, Rose Blanche by Christophe Gallaz and Roberto Innocenti and When we walked on the moon by David Long. We will be having a go at writing a short narrative and a diary entry based on these stories. Our class novel will be The Nowhere Emporium by Ross McKenzie.
