What a truly gorgeous turnout for our phonics workshop with the wonderful Miss Towse and Miss Fell! 💛It was incredibly heartwarming to see so many parents and carers joining us to support their children on their reading journey.

In year 2, as part of our DT learning, we have been designing and making our very own healthy superhero sandwiches! 🥪
To help us plan, we have been taste testing different types of bread and thinking carefully about what makes a balanced, delicious creation.
We can’t wait to bring our superhero sandwich ideas to life! 🦸🦸♀️
