Ahoy there! Our Reception pirates had a fantastic Pirate Day on Monday - crafting flags, maps and hats, hunting for treasure and even escaping a giant whale! There was a bit of a mystery when Miss Hodgetts went missing... but all was well when she turned up safe and sound (with a little help from a friendly classroom shark!). What a swashbuckling adventure!

A sweet adventure for Year 3! Recently, our Year 3 children had a wonderful time exploring Cadbury World. They learned all about how chocolate is made, discovered the history behind one of Britain's favourite treats and even got to enjoy some delicious samples! There were lots of smiles (and a bit of chocolatey mess!) as they tried their hand at chocolate writing and watched the chocolatiers at work. A brilliant day packed with fun, learning and plenty of treats - what's not to love? We're sure it's a trip they'll remember for a long time to come!
