Into University Week!
Year 6 have had a fabulous week this week with Into University. The theme has been 'evolution' and they have carried out many different tasks and learned about some inspirational people. For most of the children, the highlight of the week was the visit to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm. Although we were unlucky with the weather, the children were in great spirits and we all had an amazing day seeing the animals.
Regular updates and photos have been uploaded to Facebook throughout the week so head on over to the Oldmixon Primary School Facebook page to see what we've been up to!
