In Science, we will be working as Biologists, Chemists and Physicists, looking at…

Who Am I? Classification, Where does all that food go and much much more!

Have you ever wondered if water is always wet?

Have you ever wondered where food travels to in our bodies?

This year our topics in History will cover…

The Romans the Anglo Saxons and Scots and the Ancient Egyptians

How much did the Ancient Egyptians achieve?

How did the Romans change the world forever?

Children are expected to read at least three times a week. But every night is encouraged.

Please encourage your
child to read and remember to sign
the reading diary

The children receive Saints Points for good behaviour and acting like Earthly Saints in school. These are collected at the end of the week and will contribute towards a whole school reward!

Another incentive for each class is Star of the Week and Reader of the Week.
