Welcome to Year 6

Year 6 Malham Days

This week the Year 6 classes have had the opportunity to visit Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. They all enjoyed the good weather and a chance to walk in some stunning scenery. All the children were incredibly well behaved and and it was pleasing to have comments made by members of the public about their good behaviour. Please find below a selection of photos from the days. (There are a lot of photos, keep scrolling down to find your class!)
