JM (HP parent) It was great to see Y5 creatively expressing their ideas and facts about the Tudors. A very entertaining morning of presentations! Well done Y5! (parent) I really enjoyed too see how enthusiastic they all were about their learning and how well they were working together. The children were putting so much effort into this and they had a lot of fun doing it.
Lovely comments from Y5 parents after a Fab Finish lesson earlier this week. We love feedback!
