We have been working out with Joe Wicks to raise money for Children in Need. In our PE clothes, we managed three different five minute work outs, but we were very sweaty by the end! Children in Need help children around the UK who aren’t as fortunate as us and it made us realise how…
Children across Year 5 and Mrs Taylor have been working to establish links with a school in Poland. Today we received our first letters!
