Year 3 had a wonderful time making and eating s'more's and bird feeders at Forest School. Despite the weather not being great, our happy children used the wet mud as face paint.

Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time at Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake. They watched their Christmas production of The Borrowers. What a marvellous show!

Year 4 had lots of fun in class today learning more about the delicate biodiversity of river environments.
