We have really been enjoying our Fife lessons.

I am pleased to announce that we won the Reading Ractrack Trophy for the second time this year. Thank you all for your hard work! Let's keep it up!!

This morning we have been enriching our curriculum by spending time baking some Christmas goodies with Mrs Tatham. Please look at the gallery for more images.

To commemorate the end of The First World War each child has planted a seed in a pot and brought it home. Hopefully these seeds will begin to grow in the spring. When shoots begin to appear the children can either plant them at home, or bring them back to school and plant them here.

This week in Art we were lucky enough to have specialist support from Ms Plant when making clay tiles as part of our work on texture. Please look at our pictures in the gallery.
