At the moment the bigger main room in the school, which is divided by folding doors, is used by the two older classes and has a computer area in the middle. There is a reference library just inside the front entrance. The youngest children's classroom is housed in an extension built in 1884. When we visited, the children had been learning about growing things with the aid of good old mustard and cress, as well as a variety of other seeds which they had been growing in the light and the dark, and in the cold and the warm. They visit the village hall three times a week for PE and use it for musical and dramatic productions and go swimming at the Derwent Pool at Norton.
Abbey is lined up for the younger children as part of a topic on places of worship.
The older children recorded sounds and took photos there and composed music and created a dance based on what they had seen and heard. When I went under the stairs I saw a dragon. He was very fierce because of his sharp teeth. He had bright red fire and orange eyes and sharp claws. Mum called it was bedtime.
