Meet Mabel
What began as an old, unwanted double-decker bus has been transformed into a magical reading and learning space for our Junior pupils. Thanks to the vision, determination, and generosity of our school community, Mabel has gone from a dusty bus to a beautiful home for books, stories, creativity, imagination, and music lessons.
Today, Mabel inspires children to read, learn, dream, and create magical memories every day. Please click on the link to read the full story about Mabel. 🔗 lts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Once-upon-a-time.pdf

History came to life for J6 yesterday! 🏰⚔️
From exploring the formidable defences of Norham Castle and Etal Castle to comparing the military tactics of the English and Scottish armies, pupils gained a fascinating insight into border warfare. The trip concluded at Branxton, where they walked the Flodden battlefield and discovered how the landscape itself played a significant role in shaping one of the most important battles in British history. A fantastic day of learning beyond the classroom! #historytrip #flodden1513 #learningoutsidetheclassroom #schooltrip
