Year 6 - Pine

 

Welcome To Our Year 6 (Pine) Class Page

Teacher: Mrs Godding

Teaching Assistant: Mr Sutton 

 

Happy New Year and welcome to our first Spring term.  Our school value this half term is 'gratitude' so we are looking for children to demonstrate this value throughout the next six weeks.  With so many opportunities, we can't wait to see their light shine!

 

If you would like to arrange to walk home from school please contact the office to provide permission.  You can bring a phone into school so you have it available for walking home, however this must be handed in to Mrs Godding as soon as you arrive into the classroom in the morning.

 

Please contact Mrs Godding with any questions via info@stjohnsrc.net.
