What better way to end our Great Fire of London topic than with a visit from the firemen. We spent the morning learning about all of the equipment on a modern day fire engine and how they are used to help in emergencies. We asked lots of questions and had a lesson about how to [...]
The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the exhibition centre where they tried on chainmail, helmets and dresses from the 15th century. They experienced shooting an archer's bow and watched a re-enactment of the battle on film. Many weapons were displayed for them to see and four different characters shared their experiences throughout the exhibition. Then it [...]
Thank you for joining us for our coffee morning! (or 'cake for breakfast day' as some of the children decided to call it!) With a lot of hard work from the Friends' team and some amazing bakes from you all, we raised over £433. Your support is, as ever, so appreciated.

Class 1 have been very brave in their PE lessons this half term and have been trying their gymnastics skills on some of our new equipment. Before they could get climbing up high the children were put through their paces on the low level equipment. They worked on their balancing skills as well as their [...]
This week we have been learning all about capacity. After completing our work all about reading different scales (even some with missing numbers!) we set about creating our very our marvellous mixtures inspired by George's Marvellous Medicine.
