Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the children returned to school on 8th March 2021 for the last 4 weeks of term.  Amongst other actvities, the children designed fairground games and designed artwork to advertise their game; on the last day of term, the children enjoyed playing the other groups' games.

The Year 6 children also had great fun designing story book bags and puppets for the children in Year 1.

During the autumn term Year 6 children were learning about the different countries in the continent of Africa and exploring the story 'One Plastic Bag'.  They discovered more about the history of Ancient Benin and compared it to  a modern day African country.  The children investigated the use of fair trade and how it impacts the lives of farmers.

The children also undertook a Level 1 and Level 2 Bikeability course with instructors from West Berkshire Council to encourage safe cycling, road safety and exercise.
