We talked about giving computers instructions to follow. Year 1 turned into robots and their partners had to give them instructions to help them move around the playground. I was very impressed with the instructions you all gave Year 1 well done!

George and Isobel in Year 1 made some fantastic pumpkins at home, they very kindly brought them in to class to show us. We really liked George’s colourful pumpkin and Isobel’s cat face pumpkin. Super carving!
