6D residential day 3
The children were all asleep by 11ish and they more or less slept through. Bless them, they are shattered. This morning, 17 children did a series of high wire challenges and the others went on a lovely local walk. The walkers did 3.5 miles in the morning sunshine. They learnt about some of the Read…

Year 6 residential day 2 2023
The children did chat in their tents until very late last night, some after midnight, and one tent was awake again at 4.15am thanks, perhaps, to a local cockerel.

Year 5 have enjoyed a fine week up in the Yorkshire Dales on residential this week: caving, mountain biking, walking and geography fieldwork. The children have shown good resilience and confidence tackling the activities. I am very grateful to the volunteer staff who work from 6am ’til gone midnight each day, to our volunteer Read…

It has been SATs week for Y2 and for Y6. This has hit the news as the Y6 papers have seemed a bit harder than usual: especially the reading paper. I do feel that there should be more accessible tests for those that are less high attaining: it is painful to watch those children Read…
