💫 Our entire Year 5 class were lucky enough to attend the Peterborough Hockey Festival on 21st September taking place at the City of Peterborough Hockey Club. This means we were fortunate enough to play on the official Peterborough pitch. 🎉

🏑 Once there our children split into small groups and took part in 8 different skill sessions. These were great at helping us to learn how to play hockey, and allowed us to improve the skills that we have already learnt across the years in school.

It was a great festival that all of the children enjoyed.🌟

💡 Every fortnight, we’re de-mystifying the language your child uses in school which helps them think like mathematicians, historians, scientists, philosophers and more. Giving you the tools to support their learning at home with confidence.

We’re kicking off with Maths - focusing on understanding how numbers relate to each other.

🏫 A school building is just bricks and mortar until our children walk through the doors.
