On Thursday, 8 children from 4E had their first visit to Curly's farm. After meeting Cara, our farm leader, our first job was to muck out the sheep pen and then take the old hay bales to the muck pile. Then, it was time to feed the animals, so we stacked our wheelbarrows with lots of hay and set off to feed the sheep. Later on we headed to the barn and saw some 12-day old calves, some ducks, guinea pigs and pigs. We had a great first day as farmers at Curly's farm!

Year 5
On Tuesday 21st February, between 1:00 and 1:30 the WRPS House Trophy was stolen. Year 5 were quickly at the scene of the crime making observations and gathering evidence to help identify the culprit. From the evidence collected already, Year 5 have been asking relevant questions to clarify links and identifying scientific experiments which could be carried out to correctly place someone at the scene of the crime. Year 5 will immerse themselves as crime scene investigators this term and keep you updated with their progress in the investigation.
Year 4
On Monday afternoon, Year 4 visited Gravesend Train Station to celebrate the end of our topic 'All Aboard' - innovations of the railway. While there, we got to ask lots of questions about trains and the station itself and even got the chance to listen to two passing freight trains (both were very loud!).
