Year 1 Trip to Yorkshire WildLife Park

Year One had a fantastic trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were very lucky with the weather until we had to return to the bus! We saw lots of animals like tigers, lions, camels, giraffes and rhinos. We wowed the park staff with our knowledge in the classroom workshop, where we were also able to get close to and hold giant hissing cockroaches, giant African land snails and stroke a blue-tongued skink. We are working hard writing a recount of our day.

Year 2 Trip to Tropical World

Year 2 had an amazing time for their trip to Tropical World! The children got to see lots of interesting animals including meerkats, a tarantula, some lizards, lots of tiny monkeys and much more! They also had the opportunity to do some workshops in the woodland, searching for mini beasts and learning all about the different trees in this habitat. All of the children were brilliantly behaved and were super role models for our school!

Reception Trip to Cannon Hall Farm

Our Reception have had a wonderful time on their very first school trip to Cannon Hall. The farmers said their behaviour and knowledge was amazing - in fact Farmer Lisa said it was the best they’ve ever had! Well done to Reception - we are really proud of you!

Year 5 Trip to Cliffe House

Three fantastic days of fun, friends and adventure with Year 5 at Cliffe House. We were really impressed with our children, especially their outdoor knowledge.
