This little lost duck was found on the field. He is feeling sad and lost and needs to find his family. ❤️ Do you, or someone you know recognise him? If you do, please send us a message and we will reunite you. #Hitchin #LostDuck #Kingshott https://t.co/w2KH22l1P2

Year 6 took the opportunity to go out into the wooded area last week and set traps in order to hopefully catch some small woodland mammals for their Ecology topic. They used Longworth traps and caught one mouse! 🐁 He has been named Gerry and is now happily running free 💕 https://t.co/LrVJmTNDtt

We have continued with our online learning so that any children who are unable to come to school can still be a part of their lessons if they are able to. See what our pupils have been up to in school this week, virtually and physically! https://t.co/UK8ImSRsr2 #Kingshott

We've had so many brilliant suggestions for a name for the new nature area that we have decided to use not one, but two of the children’s ideas! Mr Weston will officially open the area at the start of term, where we will announce the name 🎉 #Hitchin #Kingshott #EcoSchool https://t.co/pKWiYKlyb6

In the future, young people will have to solve problems and take on roles that do not yet exist. With this in mind, our Mathematics curriculum aims first and foremost to develop analytical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills. 📐📏 #Kingshott #Hitchin #MathsForLife https://t.co/dPpozVoRRX
