Eagles tried to answer the question ‘Do people with the biggest feet have the biggest hands?’ They drew around their own feet and hands and measured them with a non standard unit of measurement – paper clips. We then discovered that having the biggest feet did not necessarily mean having the biggest hands!
Eagles, Skylarks and Herons have been learning about animal groups recently.

We finished the day by singing our hearts out, taking part in Leeds Schools Summer Festival online.
