This morning our Year 2 children represented the school at the Remembrance service at Egremont War Memorial. They observed the event with reverence and respect. The class Beacons presented and laid a wreath at the War Memorial that the whole class made. We are very proud of them all.

Year 4 enjoyed handling Anglo-Saxon artefacts, making observations to enrich their learning. 
 

St. George is our Class Saint!  We have celebrated today listening and learning about St. George.  We loved the story about him slaying the dragon and rescuing the Princess.  We thought about dragons and wrote lots of different adjectives to describe a dragon.  We made crowns and St. George’s…
