Sports Day 2024
The children in KS1 had a fantastic time at their Sports Day! They enjoyed working as a team in the relay race, testing their balancing skills in the egg and spoon race and racing to the finish line during the 60 metres sprint. Some children even had a go at our fun run, which saw them running through hoops wearing funny hats before running to the finish line. It was a hot and exciting day for all, even the parents joined in!
Year 1's visit to Coventry Transport Museum
Our history topic for Summer 2 is the development of transport. As a way to introduce the children to the topic we went on a trip Coventry's Transport Museum; were the children were able to see how cars, bikes and areoplanes have changed over time.
