Year 5 had a fantastic day at St John Fisher, experiencing a typical secondary school day. They enjoyed lessons in Geography, Science, Computing, History and English, testing indicators in Science, writing excellent enquiry questions in Geography and learning about machine code (binary code) in Computing.
The children were enthusiastic, engaged and impeccably well-behaved throughout. Thank you to the staff at St John Fisher for such a warm welcome and a wonderful learning experience!
