Class 1

It’s Girl Guide World Thinking Day today. Some of the girls wore their Rainbows uniforms and told us all about it!

Year 2 are making the link between repeated addition and multiplication facts

We are using our imaginations and having fun in our new role play area!

In Computing we are exploring programmable toys. Today we found out about the buttons and functions on the Beebot and Robot Mouse, inputting simple directions to find out what happens
