YEAR 5 (INDIGO)
Mr Bain (Covering for Mrs J Miller)Welcome to class 5M!
My name is Mrs Miller and I am the class teacher for 5M.
In class 5M, the children are hard working and enthusiastic. This is our class blog and we want everyone to see what we get up to while we`re learning so please keep visiting regularly for updates on what we have been getting up to in class, school news and recent letters.
Please leave a lovely comment on our blog so we know that you have visited and the children would love to hear what you think about their classroom learning and activities.
Thank you
Mrs Miller

Friendship Song
In Music this half term, we have focused our learning on ‘Friendship Song’ by Joanna Mangona and Pete Readman. We enjoyed finding the beat and moving to the music before finding the notes B, G, A and E and playing them on the glockenspiels in time with the music.
