The Swans had an amazing time in Cambridge yesterday. The Boy At The Back Of The Class was incredible; the children loved it and it really did serve to embed all they had learnt about migration in their previous Geography/English topic. We also took time to look at the beautiful buildings around Cambridge – in […]
In July 2023, Yer 5 & 6 visited Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia for their residential trip. They were involved in many, many activities which included gorge scrambling, canoeing and mountain walking.
