We were so lucky to be able to use the lovely new library space for our sessions with Bear, Rhino, Owl and Bison classes. It really is going to be the most amazing resource and gave us plenty of space in which to fight fires and work in groups. Thank […]
After a week of snow it was clear weather for our trip to Northampton. We had a fun afternoon of activities with Willow and Beech classes. “Thanks for a great workshop in Monday. The children loved it and have drawn beautiful pictures and done excellent drama today!”
We arrived at Cathedral Primary School in beautiful flurries of snow. Once everyone had taken off all their winter clothes we were able to talk about the Great Fire of London in Year 2 and editing Vlad and the First World War in Year 6. We shared some fantastic work […]
