Today we used Digimaps to help us calculate how far these products have had to be transported before reaching our local shops. Some had travelled thousands of miles, whereas others were sourced…

The children who have been having Rocksteady lessons performed their songs in a lively concert today. It was great to see their confidence and their friends supporting them.

We have been scientist. We have found lots of natural materials and been making potions and seeing what happens to them when we mix them all up. 

A team of 8 Year 5s and 6s went to the interschools tag rugby tournament this afternoon. After a tense couple of play-off matches, we ended up second in our pool. All our games were very close scores. Unfortunately we lost our semi- final match, but came 3rd overall. The whole team worked really…

We then found out about the Nordic Paganism. We learnt about the…

Today, we continued our work on Yayoi Kusama and looked at different techniques for creating dots. We used paint and different tools, pastels, felt tips and collage.
