In UKS2, children developed arguments in response to: Year 6: Should children be sent to work? (Victorian Topic) Year 5: Do Aliens exist? (Space Topic) Year 4: Should scientists stop exploring the polar regions? Year 3: Should foxes be classed as vermin? The children argued their points with energetically and persuasively.

Children in Need 2019 On Friday 15th November, we will be raising money to support Children in Need. Children are asked to donate £1.00 and they can embrace the ‘Do Your Thing’ theme by wearing whatever they want to school on that day. Classes will take part in a series of surprise, fun tasks throughout the day...whenever the buzzer sounds! We will post as many of these tasks on Facebook throughout the day in the hope that our wonderful parents and carers will join in too! We can't wait - it was great fun last year!
