EYFS and KS1 have had a fantastic, fun-filled morning. The field has been filled with smiles, laughter, squeals and giggles! Their fun will continue this afternoon in school as KS2 children take to the inflatables and other outdoor activities.  

The treat has been revealed and EYFS and KS1 who are out on the field this morning couldn’t be happier! Our pirate ship, giant slide, bouncy castle and ice pops are a hit ☀️

Year 5 got stuck straight in to hard science work in their new classroom with their ‘new’ teacher. Miss McCann was particularly impressed with how hard the children worked during the week and how much more mature they seemed. She is looking forward teaching them as real Year 5’s in September.
