Walk to Castle Hill!
We walked from school, all the way to the top of Castle Hill! Orange Class walked brilliantly with no complaints at all.
Once we got to the top, we found the school and talked about the places that we had passed along the way. We then worked in pairs to draw maps of the route from school to Castle Hill.
Soon, in class, we will use the maps that we drew on the hill to draw finished versions of a map of our local area.
This is all part of our local study learning in Geography and lots of fun!

A Visit From A Real Nurse!
Orange Class were so lucky on Friday 28th January because we had a visit from a real nurse! Renata Mrrzyglod, who is Max's mum, came to speak to the children about her job as a nurse. She brought equipment with her and talked about her job, what she does everyday and how she helps people.
