Year 3 enjoyed their visit to the park yesterday afternoon. It was a class reward for earning so many dojo points this year. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 have been looking at the school value 'Courage.' They have spent time researching what courage means, finding synonyms, reading books related to courage, learning songs, creating posters and finally working as a team to themselves spell out the letters in courage.

Reception children went on a trip to Attwell Farm Park on Thursday. We saw lots of different animals, learnt how to handle and feed them carefully and ended our day by having a play on the park. We can't wait to write all about our trip this week!
