Welcome to Otters Class!
 
We have 10 pupils in our class and our class is made up of year 5/6 pupils. We love to have fun, learn new topics and build our independence in Otters class.  
 
In our class Catherine is our class teacher, Rebecca, Gill (Mon-Thu), Brenda (Mon, Thu, Fri), Hayley (Tue, Weds, Fri) are our teaching assistants.

Our topic in this Autumn term is
'Wild Weather'

 During this topic we will explore the seasons and dive into the different weather each season brings. We will be learning about why the seasons change and what causes the severe weather we experience around the world. We will learn more about global warming and asking ourselves how we can make a change to make a difference to global warming.
 
Please find below, some useful resources to support any home learning. These videos and activities are some examples of what we will be covering in class over the term.
