Year 3 were fortunate enough to have Dr Watson visit us this morning to lead a science workshop which focused on forces. She showed us a variety of experiments involving friction, contact and non contact forces and used a range of equipment. The children also enjoyed being scientists and joining in or conducting their own experiments. They particularly enjoyed using
Last Friday, 31st January, some of our choir children set off for an unforgettable day at the BP Pulse Live arena. Our adventure began at 12pm when we tucked into our lunch, buzzing with anticipation for the coach journey ahead.

We discovered that soils are made from tiny pieces of eroded rock, air and organic matter and to understand that soil is one of the world’s most important natural resources
