In gymnastics today, the children were working in pairs to create balances that mirrored each other. There were some great examples of balances that showed control and good mirroring and the children used the skills of listening and cooperation very well. Well done, Year 4!

Year 5 & 6 walked up to join other local schools for Remembrance Day at Miss Whalley's Field.

They represented Cathedral perfectly and marked the sombre occasion  well.
