We're hitting the spring term at 88 mph as we navigate time travel and head back to the future for our whole-school topic! The history of time telling took us on a whistle-stop journey to Ancient Egypt and back to Baghdad this morning as we started to understand how those early hours and minutes [...]
This Tuesday, we were treated to the performance of Hansel and Gretel by the Roundabout Theatre Company. The children spent the morning immersing themselves in the story, before watching the performance in the afternoon. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, which had a lovely twist to the traditional tale. [...]

In a time-travelling escapade, our algebra skills were needed to crack the code to free Scheherazade from the evil vizier in ancient Baghdad. Every year group rose to the [...]
