Thank you for all your hard work with the Roman projects this last term and the efforts from most children have been outstanding. Our next history topic will be the ANGLOSAXONS. However we will be reverting back to normal homework for the final term.

During the next few days the children will be practising the hymns for the Easter service, making Easter cards and completing the Easter story in their RE lessons.
