Mr Heard
Welcome to Year 5
Autumn Term
This term the main enquiry question is: In South America, why are deserts so dry and rainforests so wet?
PE
PE will be on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please could all children bring a named PE kit (black shorts and house colour polo shirt) in a small named bag. This should also include outdoor trainers and a tracksuit/hoodie/leggings as we often go outside for games. A spare pair of socks and plastic bag for muddy trainers would also be very useful as the weather becomes wetter and colder.
