Today we have focussed on honesty. We reflected on times when we made wrong choices and how we dealt with them. The class were reminded that it is important to make the right choices, but also that we can learn from our mistakes.  They completed questionnaires, which were personal to them and they did not … Read more…

We now know about Victorian schools and how children at their age would quite often leave their homes to start working.

It is mental health awareness week and the theme is connecting with nature. Year 5 have been thinking about the benefits of being in nature for our wellbeing. We had a lovely time outside using all our senses, and looking closely at the natural world doing a scavenger hunt.
