I couldn't have been prouder of our class, last week, who visited the Bolton Museum as part of our Egyptian studies. They were so clued-up, showed impeccable manners and squeezed every last drop of canopic juice from the experience.

Today, Taj Mahal were tasked with building a safe cave to live in, using only materials from the Stone Age. I think they did a pretty good job at staving off (and in some cases, taming) the wolves, don't you?

We are very excited to announce a brand new initiative that we have recently signed up to. We were hoping that the children would've been able to all wear the brand new headphones and be transported into a new world, or engrossed in a story. However, since the recent closure of the school, we have been sent a set of...

The children have come to the end of their WWI topic and what a great way for it to come to a close with some incredible flashback writing and producing our own versions of the animated movie, ‘The Piano’, with imotion or stop motion.
