Beech class visited the Hancock Museum in Newcastle. We looked at lots of the animals and dinosaurs, then went on to learn about ancient Greece. We were lucky enough to try on some of the soldiers’ uniforms! Even Mrs Howard got in on the action and got dressed up!
Beech class had a really great trip to Riverside Park on Thursday. We enjoyed trying out all the equipment and behaved really well around the other users. We followed this up with buying ice creams from the van and eating them on the grass in the sun. It was so nice to be able to…

I am really pleased to see that this young man has been busy out and about, getting some fresh air and exercise. I understand that he has also enjoyed doing bits and pieces of school work: mostly the science, by the looks of the egg! Well, Mrs Lee ended up celebrating her birthday with Bubble…
