🎨🔬 Our Year 6 classes are diving straight into their specialist subject rotations across Design Technology, Food, Science, and Classics! From getting creative in Tech 1 with Mr Cook and Mr Stevens to whipping up delicious ideas in the Food Room with Ms Edwins & Ms Leeson, experimenting in Science Lab 1 with Ms Squires, and diving into ancient history in Classics with Ms Scott, learning has never been so much fun! 🧪🥖🏛
