After a busy week completing their SATS the Year 6 children enjoyed some down time in our Forest School. They made friendship bracelets, cooked cinnamon dampers over the camp fire, whittled sticks and made dens. Great to see how independent they have become, demonstrating safe practice without promp

As part of our History work this term, we have been studying Baghdad (c900). We focused on Al-Khwarizmi, who invented algebra, Arabic numerals (the ones we still use today!) and algorithms.
