A walk around our corridors

6/11/2020

 
Our corridors are lovely, colourful places, where our pupils often display some of their artwork and projects. Taking a walk around our corridors these days is just fabulous, with so much great work to look at. Unfortunately, we can't invite anyone into our building to see it all, but we can showcase it here!

​Our classes have been learning about procedural writing, trees, Africa, sequencing, the Aztecs, Planet Earth and lots more!
