Since Great Britain's Olympic win in the curling last week, Mr Southall has been keen to teach the children during his P.E. sessions. This week the Year 1 and 2 children enjoyed their first curling session. The children were learning how to focus and be accurate with their roll at the same time.

In Year 1 the children have been learning about and creating their own postcards based on their Geography learning on 'Bright Lights Big City.' Over the last few weeks the children have been learning about our local area and the landmarks that are popular in Leicester.
