Visitors

• Born Free visited the school to deliver a very interesting workshop to year 6. The workshop focused on educating the children about animals in the wild, the importance of conservation and the dangers facing many species. They were able to gain a better understanding of the importance of protecting animals and their habitats.
• Year 6 welcomed author Sue Klauber, who spoke to them about her book on World War II. Her talk was very informative and interactive and it gave the children an opportunity to learn more about the experiences of people during this significant time in history.
