Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
EYFS and Year 1 had a fantastic, animal packed day at Ian's Mobile Farm, as seen on the Yorkshire Vet, on the school field. The children were able to get up close to all the animals and even stroke a rabbit, guinea pig and a duck as the farmer held them and shared some animal facts. We met Meg the sheepdog who raced the children around the field, fetching the ball. We learnt about how to milk a cow and got to have a go at milking Daisy the fibreglass cow. The children took it in turns to brush and stoke the alpacas, sheep, ponies and goats. They were all amazing and had a brilliant day.

We enjoyed World Book Day on Thursday 7th March. Children and staff dressed up as storybook characters or characters from a film. Thanks to everyone for getting into the fully involved in the fun day. Her was how the day unfolded:
What with a change to the day we host our Golden assembly, it was wonderful to see so many parents in school to support our pupils and staff on such a special day - World Book Day! Thanks for all your support helping children engage with the day and a collective love of reading. You are amazing!
