Curriculum Enrichment
In the Autumn term as part of the history topic. ‘Would you like to live in Victorian Britain?’, the children visit Armley Mills
In the spring term Zoo Lab visit the children, where they get to see and interact with lots of exotic animals and develop their learning of animal classification and food chains.
In the summer term we have ‘Samuel Pepys’ visiting to talk about the Great Fire of London. The children create a fantastic silhouette of the scene as well as passing along buckets of water in a reenactment.
- Each year in June they also experience a late-night adventure. The children take part in craft, sport and campfire activities.

Each week, children will bring home a reading book appropriate to their level which should be read to an adult 3 times a week. They will also bring home a sharing book from the library.
Children are expected to complete a weekly task on the Mathletics website. The tasks are set every Monday.
