Yesterday, Year Two had an extremely interesting visit to Durham Cathedral. The children had exceptionally good manners, asked lots of interesting questions and managed to identify many of the aspects of Durham Cathedral discussed in class. They also very much enjoyed acting out the story of St. Cuthbert.While today we have celebrated World Maths Day. We have had great fun using a wide variety of 2d shape tiles to create pictures with different degrees of difficulty, some of us managed to complete a 5 STAR challenge!! ... See MoreSee Less
