Turtle Class

Welcome to Turtle Class! With the support of Miss Nash and the wonderful Mrs Harmer, we will thrive to become enthusiastic and hard-working turtles! This year is packed full of exciting learning opportunities – we will be diving into fascinating topics such as the Tudors and World War 2, bringing history to life through stories, projects and exploration.

Art is another big focus in Turtle Class and Miss Nash will be on the lookout for budding artists throughout the year. Whether its sketching, painting or creating...we cannot wait to see your talents shine!

In Turtle Class, we aim to become resilient, responsible, empathetic and brave learners. By the end of year 5, you will leave feeling accomplished, confident and proud of all you have achieved.

Let’s make this a year to remember – Go Turtles!
