Hello everybody, I’m Mr. Penny and I would like to welcome you all to Eagles Class. Working alongside me this year will be Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Tomlinson.

In addition to the above, we will also have Mr. Aspinall for PE on a Wednesday, Miss. Whyle for Music on a Thursday morning, Mrs. Chaloner for Forest School on a Thursday afternoon, and Miss Hemingway for MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) on a Friday afternoon.

As well as the usual English and maths lessons, over the course of this year we have many exciting topics to learn about. These will include:

The Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
Ancient Civilisations.
Romans.
Earthquakes.

These topics will be linked to subjects from the National Curriculum such as: Science, Geography, History, Art and D&T.

I look forward to seeing you all in September!
