What a lovely day Year 1 have had at @KnowsleySafari. We saw lots of animals and learnt lots of new facts #birds #mammals @HolyFamilyScie1

We carried out a fair test to investigate how different surfaces can impact on friction. This lesson really helped the children to understand what friction means. #youngscientists @HolyFamilyScie1

Coronation celebration!
