Year 2 have had an amazing two days working with Heidi Street-Ward to make a beautiful and very colourful felt banner. It took team work and patience but it was lots of fun! We are very proud of our work and can't wait to see it when it is dry and ready to hang up in school. https://t.co/0cSoTVx0VF

On Monday Year 2 started a new topic 'Scented Gardens' . To help us understand how plants grow we have planted some 'Beans in a bag'. We are going to observe how they change over time. We are all very excited to see what is going to happen. https://t.co/6CQ7twwybA

To round off our Wriggle and Crawl unit Year 2 made an Army of Ants. We made sure they had a head, thorax and abdomen and 6 legs just like the real insects. https://t.co/Seu8BHa8CB

Wow day in Year 3. To begin our new topic about the Stone age, Maple and Elm class had a go at being archaeologists, hunter-gatherers and building somewhere to shelter. The children learnt many new skills whilst having fun.@Highlees @ElliotFndtn @3Highlees https://t.co/RHz01zFYII
