Hello Taiga Class! There are lots of fun and exciting things happening this Summer Term at St Mark’s. It’s going to be great!

History and Geography
In geography we will be continuing on from our Year 5 topic of Climate Change and completed a new topic, The Earth Matters.

Throughout our unit of learning, we will be making comparisons with our own lives and where we live.
