Some of the Year 8 students who enjoyed a cultural visit to Poole Lighthouse today to watch a lively, funny new adaptation of Little Women. Not only did they enjoy the story, but they were also amazed at the effects - trees, smoke and snow, indoors!

Year 3 had some strange deliveries under their chairs today…✉️

Each child was assigned a feature of a village, town or city to create a Tri-Rama as part of our year-group city; Fin and Flipper City.

Children created: universities, homes, shops and stations of all kinds.
