As part of thedrive to get more girls playing – and feeling they can play – football, we took twenty girls from Y4 (everyone who expressed an interest) to a football festival at St George’s Park, Graves. The photos below show just how enthusiastic the girls were, and it was lovely to see their skills […]
To support our understanding of Roman technologies in our ‘Legendary Legionaries’ learning journey, we researched Roman Roads in Britain. We found out that many of the roads we use today have been built on top of the original Roman Roads, and that the Romans developed the road system to help transport goods, and soldiers, across […]

As part of our Ancient Greek learning journey, we created chitons (a traditional Ancient Greek item of clothing) for our teddies. We started off practising how to use different sewing techniques – running stitch and back stitch – to create seams and hems on pieces of material. We sewed them into little bags. Then we […]
To end a great first term, we had a day hike onto Totley Moss and Blacka Moor. As you can see, we had a lovely day!
