Cross Fell's Learning

Some excellent use of concrete resources helping us with our work on addition and subtraction today.

Today in our Geography session we learned all about different types of housing in our local area and had a go at making our own versions using junk modelling materials. We can’t wait to go out into Alston for a walk to see everything we have learned about first hand. Great job everyone!

We really enjoyed rounding off our learning about the Great Fire of London by making some bread just like Thomas Farriner the baker, it was lovely to talk about each of the key events that we had learned about as we got busy imagining what life might have been like during the great fire.
