Tutsan (Year 5&6)
Welcome to Tutsan Class!
Welcome to Tutsan Class! We are Year 5 & 6 and our teacher is Mrs Tully and Mrs Foord help us with our learning.
This year, our classes are named after plants that grow nearby on Breamore Marsh. Tutsan - from the French words toute saine, meaning all healthy - is a beautiful green shrub with delicate yellow flowers. It was used by the druids for medicinal purposes as it has antiseptic properties.

Word Walls
Below are the links to our word walls, which you will need to practise at home.
Class Reading
Every half term, we read a quality text as a class.
Parents are given the opportunity to purchase the book and have it delivered to school from The Fordingbridge Bookshop; we are proud to support local businesses. The children gain a lot from reading along together and we find that they really enjoy these sessions and are often asking to, "Just read one more chapter..."
Books we are reading as a class this term

We will also be showcasing our Landscape Artwork and Screen Printing pieces in a Gallery Room. There will be mince pies and hot drinks to enjoy.
