As you may or may not know, Superhero Day was held at our school as a means of raising money for CashforKids. CashforKids is a charity that grants wishes for children who face life threatening illnesses or those who are terminally ill.

Thank you to all those who donated and who joined in the fun. As you can see Class One had great fun dressing up as our superheroes for the day.

On Wednesday 11th May 2016 we had a visit from a reptile! The pupils enjoyed being able to hold the tortoise and to look at what features make him an reptile! We also looked at how he moves, his shell, his claws and the food that he eats.
