Y3 had an absolutely fantastic time at the History Alive stone age workshop yesterday. The children were completely immersed in the world of our ancient ancestors and thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experience.

In PSHE, Y3 have been learning about safer internet practices. We understood the risks of sharing personal and private informations. We also learned the importance of identifying the differences between real and manipulated images and news online.
