What a great morning we had for the KS2 Sports!  There was loads of resilience, perseverance and of course endurance on show!  It was lovely to see how supportive and encouraging the children were of each other.  Well done everyone - we were really proud of you.  The winners and runners up of the…

Some children entered the competition run by Standfast and Barracks to design a new fabric. The company then made this fabric with all our entries on. Don’t they look fantastic!

In maths, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme. In this scheme there is a tortoise called Tiny who often gets maths problems wrong.

We have a great time trying wheelchair basketball today.  It was pretty tricky but lots of fun!
