Celebrating our dance superstars!
These four fantastic children took part in individual and group dance competitions over the weekend and all returned to school with first and second place trophies and medals. We are SO proud of our St Francis superstars! Well done Lexi, Lewis, Lily and Mario.

Amazing, this is just like magic!
Year 4 enjoyed a fantastic Harry Potter themed day yesterday! After finishing our English text (The Philosopher's Stone) and producing some wonderful writing, the children were eager to watch the film, and recognise their favourite character's from the book. We also enjoyed a competitive game of…
Wednesday mornings are for reading relaxation! There's nothing better than losing yourself in a book.
Science in Action
