Year 5 imagined they were characters from our class text "The Explorer" today!  They tasted a variety of fruits that they might have to eat if they were trapped in the Rainforest, left to their own devices!  Their overall favourite was pineapple, followed by Sharon fruit, which they described as "sweet as popcorcm".  Their least favourite fruit were the figs!  A big thank you to Mrs Hallam who helped to cut and slice the fruit for us all to share!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 3 have started their Polish lessons with Miss Laitl. Today they learned some greetings and enjoyed practising with their partner.
