Our Pancake Race assembly was a batter filled spectacle of chaos and comedy! Pancakes were flying in all directions; some flipped beautifully, others took unexpected detours onto heads, floors and even a teacher’s shoe. The crowd cheered, the contestants scrambled and the pancakes… well, most of them survived. Just about!

Last term, Year 4 enjoyed a fun-filled Egyptian morning last Friday, dressed as mummies, pharaohs and explorers! The morning warmed up with some creative dancing as they ‘Danced like an Egyptian’.
