Reading Rocket

Our first Reading Rocket for the new academic year begins on Monday 9th September and will run for the next seven weeks, ending on Sunday 27th October 2019. We hope the children will be encouraged to read five times per week and develop the habit of reading widely and often.

Farewell Year 6

Year One’s Signs of Summer

Year One have finished off their science learning with a search for signs of summer in the school woods! They’ve found rabbit holes, new flowers, berries, beech nuts and lots of greenery!
