We had a busy couple of days last week! Special thanks to artist who joined us for Monday Explore where we learned how to print and let our imaginations run wild creating stories! During our Wednesday Play session we were joined by who brought in lots of chocolate themed activites including making truffles according to a World War 2 recipe and learning about items used in Yorks chocolate making industry a long time ago!

This week during Monday Explore we will be joined by Noise Academy and the Civic Trust! Also a reminder that due to Y6 Science Engage Week Community Corner is cancelled tomorrow - looking forward to seeing you next week!
