4 of our fantastic Y6 children went on an orienteering adventure today to Chester Zoo. Well done to you all - you worked as a team to 'map-read' around the zoo to find hidden clues. We managed to complete the course in the 3rd fastest time which is a fantastic achievement! 

Y6 enjoyed their 'Cultural Capital' adventure to Port Sunlight this week. As part of our art unit on 'sculptures' we enjoyed the opportunity to look at the rich cultural heritage on our doorstep!

Well done Y6 - I can confidently say that you were all engaged, enthused and a credit to the…

Well done!

We discussed gender discrimination and how the media have an important responsibility to avoid promoting stereotypical messages.

Year 6 were given the task of creating their own 'Virtual Tour' of the Galapagos.

We 'created paths', 'dropped pins' and made our tour 'interactive' . . . . you too can now take a tour of the Galapagos from the comfort of your own home!
