Local History visit - sites dating beyond 1066

We visited Leeds Kirkgate Market and the Corn Exchange as part of our history topic on local sites dating beyond 1066. We had great fun in the markets buying food and souvenirs! We also took photos of these key places and used the pictures as part of our collages in Art.

Fun in R.E

To understand the story of Esther and explain how Purim is celebrated, we re-enacted key scenes from the story! It was a great way of helping us retain what we had learned.

Hobbit feast!

For DT this half-term, we made a hobbit feast of seed cakes and beef hand pies.
