The Ragged School Welcome Year 5

Year 5 had a great time when they went to visit The Ragged School to support their learning all about the Victorian Era. They quickly found out going to school during this time is very different to going to Clockhouse!

Book Sale Time

Following the success of the Book Sale they held when they were in Year 5, Year 6 were very excited to hold another event. This year group really do love to read so what better than to share their books and make some money to go towards their end of primary school celebrations!

Well done Year 6 - enjoy your new reads!
