Year 5 & 6 at The Unicorn Theatre

Upper Key Stage 2 braved the snow this morning as we travelled to London Bridge to watch The Bee in Me.

There were some fierce put-downs showing real creativity and imagination. The crowd were […]

Salad design

In food technology enrichment today, we designed our own salads. Alongside the designing, we had to chop, slice and grate in preparation for making our masterpieces.
