It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Year 1 certainly knows it! Mrs Barker and four of our Year 1s host this month’s podcast.

Handy tip: turn your volume down a couple of notches when the music starts – they are excellent enthusiastic singers!This episode comes with a huge warm and happy Christmas from the whole Clifton High community.

One of the most memorable topics our Year 5s learn is World War 1. So much so that in this episode, two Year 6 pupils are reflecting back on what they learnt this time last year, along with two current Year 5 pupils and their Class Teacher, Mr Baxter. Ms Bourne, Communications Officer and Copywriter at Clifton High School is usually behind the scenes during these podcast recordings. However, she wanted to share in the pupils' learning during this episode, and we can see from the quiz results, she still has a little way to go to catch up with our pupils' knowledge...
