Diamond and Garnet class had one final play together last week. Miss Gunther and Miss Daborn have had the pleasure of watching friendships grow during the year as the children have read to each other, waved from the playground, shared their writing and enjoyed exploring learning together.

Reception had a very strange discovery this morning... there was some strange CCTV, a herbivore poo, footprints found in the sand pit and the creature trashed our learning garden. The children set traps, made signs and left feasts suitable for herbivore dinosaurs. What an exciting morning! #Eyfs #UTW #dinosaurs
