  Year 6 hosted a fantastic bake sale to raise funds for their end of year trip to Chester.

• Farming Fortnight

  Thu 12 Jun 2025 Nia Evans

  We’ve been celebrating Farming Fortnight across the school this week. Children have taken part in important discussions, a live Q&A with a group of farmers and engaging lessons exploring where our food comes from, different types of farming and the factors that impact farming.

   

  We’ve also enjoyed fantastic presentations from the children, who have shared photos, their own knowledge and farming experiences. Thank you parents/carers for your help in making this happen. 

   

  Where would we be without our farmers? A huge thank you to all those in our community who help bring food from field to fork!
