Year 1 pupils from @OldHallDrive recently enjoyed an exciting trip to @BlackpoolZoo as part of their Science topic, Animals Including Humans.
The visit deepened their understanding of habitats, animal characteristics, and how different species live and grow.

The build up to Christmas for @OldHallDrive Snug Group children has been absolutely amazing.
They’ve had so much fun enjoying festive activities, sharing smiles, and making memories together. It’s been wonderful to see their excitement grow each day and to celebrate it with them

As part of their outdoor adventurous activities, Year 5 at @PeelHallPrimary had an amazing time this morning at @SalfordWSC. They were able to have a go at paddle boarding, kayaking and really worked hard to develop their team building skills! The weather was beautiful for it and the children represented their school and Wise Owl Trust fantastically.
