Today primary 2/3 were able to transfer their seedlings into our fabulous new quiet garden. These were seeds we got from the Morrisons vouchers and we have been very carefully planting, waiting, watching and nurturing them up in class. We cannot wait to see how they take in their new home!

A huge thanks again to everyone who saved their vouchers for us 💖

Primary 2/3 have had “the best school day ever” (in their own words!) after the lovely Michelle and Geri from Asda came to make pizzas and do fruit tasting with them! This was all part of our project From Farm to fork. We had lots of brave boys and girls trying things for the first time too! Amazing work P2/3….I think the photos say it all!

In P7a this week we have been learning different jumps when vaulting in PE, learning about the dangers of smoking through an online live theatre production, mixing paint to create Blitz pictures for our WW2 topic, learning about Muslims put their beliefs into action and rehearsing our P7 show, among many other things.
