The Fruits of our Labour

This afternoon, we opened up a shop outside A1 to sell our garden produce to parents and students. We really enjoyed harvesting our garden and selling what we have worked so hard to grow! The sale was a huge success - we sold everything!

Caring for Pets

Every Friday, A4 go to the library for ICT with Mrs Clark. This term their inquiry topic was pets. Their task was to find and present information about caring for a goldfish.  Then, they had to present their findings by creating a slide using Powerpoint.
