Fri 19 Jul 2024Year 2 Library Visits
It was a pleasure to take Year 2 children to Buntingford Library this week. The children learnt about how the library works, which provided an insight to the various sections/genres of books within the library. The Librarians read books to the children and they were very much engaged in the stories.

Message from Year 3 Teachers: The children in Year 3 are hoping to have a D&T morning today making pneumatic toys.

The children will need to be able to cut them so the cardboard cannot be too thick. Many thanks from the Year 3 team.
