☀️Last Thursday, Y6 had a fantastic day at Tittesworth Reservoir on their geography field trip. They used orienteering skills, map reading skills and drew their own maps. They also enjoyed an ice-cream and had play on the park. Y6 were excellent representatives of the school. Well done ☀️

🥪Last Friday, Y6 enjoyed their final parent lunch of primary school. Thank you to all the family members who joined us . 🥪

☀️ The sun was shining on Y6 Sports day. The pupils showed off their sporting talents and demonstrated super sportsmanship. To top it all off, they thoroughly enjoyed soaking each other in a water balloon fight. What a great afternoon! ☀️
