Whales (Yr 5 Bilingual)

Welcome to the Whales Class Page!

Bienvenue sur la page web des Baleines

Year 5 is an important year for our children as they make the transition from lower Key Stage 2 to upper Key Stage 2 and begin to think about life after Shaftesbury Park. During this year, we will work with your child to help them reach their targets and particularly focus on speaking and writing in French, further embedding their bilingual skills.

We will also work with your child to prepare them to sit the Wandsworth Year 6 Test early next academic year.
