A reminder that it is Children in Need day tomorrow. The theme is spots. Wear anything spotty - go all out in a spotty onsie or paint some spots on your face. Don't forget there is a £1 donation. And there's a cake sale after school too!!

Voyagers had a, great time listening to a community police officer and exploring his car. They even got to explore how handcuffs are put on......

Who's ready for some fruit and veg riddles? I'm sure these aren't too tricky...🥝🫐🍓🍒🥭🍍🍌🍋

We've been learning about animals in science across the school. But who can unscramble these animal names?

A little challenge for this half term.
Can you name the flag?

The children in voyagers loved world animal day a couple of weeks ago which linked in nicely with our science work on ecosystems, food chains and food webs.

It's Monday and it's the last week of term. What better way to start the week than a singing extravaganza this afternoon!
