In Y4 we investigated one of our original questions ‘Are all liquids the same?’ We decided to have liquid races to explore this question.

Refugee Week 2025

20-06-2025

After discussing what a refugee is and why this might happen to people, we thought about what we could give a refugee to help them survive their journey to safety or what we would take with us if we became refugees. The most important message we need to remember is a refugee is a person just like us and not just a label.
