Term 1 Hola Mexico Jigsaw Homework
On Wednesday 25th September, Year 6 attended Dorcan Academy for our WOW DAY! It really was a WOW! as we had a thrilling science lesson- doing REAL science with chemicals. We trod the boards in drama, turning a story into a monster smash; we saw lots of the school, including the library; did a drop and read and had a delicious lunch in the canteen. The children impressed with their behaviour and were impressed by Dorcan. A really brilliant day!
