Year One have been investigating volume and capacity. They have considered how to order amounts of water, if the containers make a difference and have been trying hard to learn lots of new language relating to full, half, empty, almost, nearly, one quarter and three quarters!

What a wonderful treat to receive during Book Week. The Sun Newspaper and Collins Big Cat Books have teamed up to provide schools with a free box of books. These books have been greatly received and will be included in our reading scheme for the children to enjoy. Our children are so lucky to have […]
