The Courier

The children in Year 5 have been working hard in their Geography lessons preparing for a debate called ‘Trouble in the High Street’. The children adopted characters from the made-up town of Crossford, ranging from fire fighters and ambulance drivers, to shop keepers and developers.  

They worked in three teams to debate the best solution to the traffic problems in the town. Year 6 came along to act as the town council and narrowly voted for more traffic management to be introduced and not to go ahead with the too-expensive pedestrian zone or the potentially ineffective (but cheap) road safety campaign. 

A passionate and well-argued debate Year 5, well done. 

Classes 2E and 2W have planted and cared for two types of potatoes (Shannons and Casablancas) as part of the Grow Your Own Potatoes competition.  The pupils harvested them and have eaten them for lunch today in school. They were much enjoyed!
