Welcome to Buzzard class!

We are starting to look forward to Christmas and practising our Christmas carols. We hope that lots of you will be able to join us for our concert. 

We have almost finished our guided reading book "Goodnight Mr. Tom". The book, a beautiful tale set during WW2 about a young evacuee called William who goes to stay with the gruff Mr. Tom, has really hooked the class and we have been on an amazing journey with the central characters.

We will finish off the term by watching the TV version of the book and discussing how the characters are portrayed on the television screen. Our next book will be 'Explorers' by Katherine Rundell

Our PE and library slots are on a Wednesday afternoon - (black trousers/shorts and a white top please).

Please remember to bring in your reading record each day as we do lots of reading!

Many thanks,

Mrs Mitchell
