In the afternoons each class timestables the following;

• Three topic lessons each week embedding aspects of Geography, History, Art and or Design Technology into their most recent topic. 
• Two hours of Science each week, either discretely or embedded into their topic if a meaningful link can be made. 
• Two hours of discrete PE teaching, within this our Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 pupils go swimming every Thursday.
