This week Year 6 have been working incredibly hard to complete their SATs. We are so proud of each and every one of them. Year 4 had a marvellous time during their Anglo-Saxon workshop; they blew us away with their knowledge and loved learning about archaeological discoveries. They even had a go at using writing their names in clay, using Anglo-Saxon runes. Year 3 were lucky enough to visit Wroxeter today. They explored what a Roman town in Britain might have looked like – even dressing up as Romans and doing some exercise in the gymnasium.
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week: all of Year 6 for their fantastic resilience and effort shown in SATS this week. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them 🌟
