A visit to Holmebrook Valley Country Park really brought Science learning to life for the children last week.

It was fantastic to have so many parents join some of our youngest children for an afternoon of boat building today! #REACH Marlpool Federation

Did the infants let a ‘spot’ of rain dampen their enthusiasm for their ‘Beach day’? ☔️Of course not! They’ve been busy all day, only stopping for a refreshing ice lolly break! 🕶🏝⛱🐚☀️

Our special celebrity guests were a great hit at our year 2 leavers’ party! We wish all our children every success in the future! 🥰 #REACH Marlpool Federation

With its potted history of the world, and some fantastic singing and dancing, our year 6 leavers’ show was both interesting and entertaining! What a team! We wish them all every success in the future. ❤️ #REACH Marlpool Federation

Our historians in year 3 and 4 investigated a range of Roman artefacts; some of them even took on the role of archaeologist! 🏛🏺#REACH Marlpool Federation

Despite their smiles, the children in Bakewell class all agreed that the life of a Roman soldier was not an easy one! #REACH Marlpool Federation

Our infants were very lucky to be joined by Reverend Karen and her team to find out all about the story behind Christingle. 🍊🕯
