Reception really enjoyed multi skills this week with the coach. They played lots of fun games!

In science, Year 5 are learning about the properties of materials. They carried out an experiment to see whether pepper, salt, flour, sugar, and Fairy Liquid are soluble in water.

They found out:

• Sugar is soluble – it also dissolved in…

Year 2 had the unexpected treat of an xtra PE session this week in which they took part in Multiskills activities. They began the session by playing ‘Rock,Paper, Scissors, Shoot’ followed by a game of ‘Table Football’ and ‘Rainbow Ball Tag’. What a fun session it was practising their…

Year 6 enjoyed an afternoon of explosive fun whilst learning all about the scientific concept of energy.
