Year 1 enjoy computing on a Friday afternoon. We are getting much better at logging in and we have been exploring Purple Mash.

Year 4 have been looking at food chains and discovering what sort of animals are predators, prey and producers. We made Top Trump cards to think about these characteristics.. and then had fun playing with them!

Year 6 have been sharpening up their soccer skills this half-term with Dan Lofthouse from OLCC! Go Year 6!

Year 3 had a great time this afternoon learning how to build shelters and use flints to light fires. Greg, who ran the workshop was particularly impressed by the classes teamwork and imagination.
