Year Three have been finding out about how magma bursts through the Earth’s crust as lava and creates volcanoes! They’ve made their own eruptions using bicarbonate and vinegar – all looked amazing but smelled horrendous!

Reception took advantage of the lovely weather on Friday afternoon. They paddled and jumped and had a splashing time.

94 children were congratulated in assembly this morning for achieving 100% attendance during the Spring term. Well done and thank you to each child and their family.

Hillside Book Club has a group of new, eager members. The children have chosen to read The Girl of Ink and Stars this half term and are really enjoying the text, as is Mrs Wainwright.
