We used metre sticks and tape measures to find out the measurements for children in the class …

The aim of the game was to create either the biggest or the smallest number (depending on which Miss Gomersall asked for) from the numbers that we rolled. There were some …

They’ve held story writing, poetry and design competitions, helped the school save energy and stay tidy, rescued a sea-turtle, made bird feeders, hosted Chill Out Tuesdays, collected for the food bank, recycled thousands of batteries for Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt, met the Mayor of Leeds…and so …
