Farm Trip
Year 3 had a exciting day at Northwood Farm where they had fun learning about lambing, milking cows and feeding chickens. Take a look at some of the photos to see what a great time they had...
Stone Age Day
Year 3 stepped back in time to the Stone Age this week with a visit from two pre-history experts! The children had a great time enhancing their learning of this history topic with lots of artefacts and fun as you can see from the photos.
