Welcome, 5th Class!

Hello class,

This is where I'll be posting articles, pictures and videos relating to things we do in school. They will be to do with art, music, science, history, geography and more. This is a new idea of mine, I've never made a class site like this before, so I hope it will prove useful!

Mr. McKinney
