Year 2 and 3 have been doing some marvellous mathematics this week investigating different representations of number. Year 2s have looked at making the same number using practical apparatus and year 3 have been on a number hunt to track down as many different ways to represent numbers as they can! Here are some photos...Read More

Year 4/5/6 enjoyed a fantastic trip to the York Chocolate Story.  We learnt all about the history of chocolate, the York chocolate families, how chocolate is made and how to be a professional chocolate taster.  We even turned our hand to chocolate making and made truffles and chocolate lollipops.

While the fire got going, the children used vegetable peelers...Read More

The leaders commented on how confident our children were at both the climbing and the archery with a high percentage managing to scale the tower and press...Read More

We planned an experiment to see which surface caused the most friction when a toy car rolled on...Read More
