In Year 6, we are finding out about trade at local, national and international level. We have begun to investigate where the items we buy are actually sourced or manufactured, and have been quite surprised to discover how far some of the products have travelled. We used Digimaps to measure the…

Year 6 were looking forward to their first cricket session with Coach Steve this afternoon. Unfortunately it was too wet and windy to go down to the field, so we stayed in the hall and practised a range of skills involving throwing, catching, batting and fitness. Hopefully the weather will be…
