We found sticks that came from trees that keep us alive. We found brightly coloured berries that feed the wildlife. Most children decided that Read more…
During our computing lessons, the children have been looking at the effects of too much screen time. All children in Year 6 completed a survey at home to find out how much they actually spent on their screens (TV, phones, iPads, computers etc).
