Well done Year 5!!
We are so proud of all of you, for such amazing effort on our school trip to the high ropes! We were so impressed that everyone gave something a go, tried their best and challenged themselves to try new things! You showed excellent manners and fantastic behaviour!
We are both very, very proud!!

Around the world days!
As part of 'around the world day' this year, Kangaroo class were learning a bit more about Afghanistan. The children learnt about different celebrations that happen in Afghanistan, and even did some cooking of a popular Afghan biscuit. The children loved the cooking activities, but loved eating them even more! Many children wanted the recipe so that they are able to create these lovely treats at home! We hope you enjoy!
