We’ve had an excellent first week in class and are already excited for the school year ahead. This week the pupils have been given the opportunity to choose their own topic to study and after a classroom debate, have chosen Japan!

The children are all excited to find out about Japan as a county, the Japanese people, the culture and lots more.

Keep an eye on our class page over the coming weeks for more exciting news, particularly our upcoming school trip to Sony.

Many Thanks,

Mr Curtin
