Potato day
And it is now time for digging up the potatoes! The Kinder pupils had, earlier in the year planted a crop of scrumptious potatoes with the help of Joey, our gardener. These wannabe Little Farmers had stamped their way to a healthy crop of spuds. Watching their work grow, these children will learn to respect…

Living history with the Year 2s
Going to school may be very much the groan of the day for children. Most children anyway. For these Year Twos, this week was special: they travelled back in time. No, they were not accompanied by The Doctor and they did not go in any TARDIS. They were transported back in time on the college…
