This year has been extremely tough on everyone, particularly our children.

It is safe to say that our children had a flipping good time!
Pancake anyone?
Our Crew definitely made a splash in their English Channel virtual challenge! The children have walked an astonishing 21 miles during lockdown, which has supported the Eden Project in planting an additional 5 trees! Incredible job 5RS!
This week in year 5 we have been investigating 3D shapes. Today, we challenged the children to find all the possible nets of a cube.
