Hello parents and carers,
Endeavour have had a busy week and have been enjoying the beautiful weather with lessons outside as much as possible!
There have been some fantastic poems from year 5 this week, while year 6 have been showing off their incredible creative writing with some 'magic portal' inspired writing!
Endeavour created some wonderful artwork inspired by our class text 'The Song Walker' while listening to violin compositions by the book's author this week. Beautiful pieces (see pics) from all.
