Concentrate on completing one task at a time. Date your work and bring it in when school resumes.

 News!

We are excited to announce that Year 5 took part in the Primary Engineer Leaders Awards.

The competition  challenged pupils to research engineering, interview inspiring engineers and answer the question “If you were an engineer – what would you do?”

This was a fantastic opportunity that engaged our pupils with real engineers who conveyed the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in their daily lives.  Pupils were able to let their creativity run free and drew and wrote about how they interpreted the question and came up with inventions and ideas.

 Other Information

We have P.E on Wednesdays.  Children are expected to come to school dressed in their kit. We have library every other Tuesday. Come prepared!
