Horton Mill Primary School

Year 1 have had a fun afternoon making healthy sandwiches.

The children in Year 4 recently enjoyed their sound workshop led by a composer. He tasked the children with making musical instruments. We love the enthusiasm demonstrated by these two pupils as they both went home and made their own musical instruments. Well done, amazing learning!

Year 4 had a brilliant time taking part in the Eid run for Dr Kershaw's.
