As part of our English unit, the children enjoyed their campfire experience day. We sang songs, listened to stories and even enjoyed smores and hot chocolate.
Y6 - Collaborative Poem
This morning Year 6 wrote a collaborative poem all about a boat on a stormy sea. I think you’ll agree with me that they have used some wonderful vocabulary!

Pre School - Letters to the Bear
Pre-School have been reading We’re Going on a Bear Hunt this week.
