Back in Room 1.........

Younger pupils not going on camp were not left twiddling their thumbs this week. Besides having the pool almost to themselves for swimming, Room 1's Mad Scientists spent part of their reading time researching Forces experiments, which they then carried out last Friday. Hovercrafts, catapults, Bottle Tractors and a Cartesian Diver were all proudly shown to Room 3 at the end of the morning.

Room 1 Maths show off their symmetrical something

In Maths on Fridays, whilst Year 7 are sailing, the younger Room 1 students have been investigating 2D shapes and their properties, together with a practical introduction to line symmetry. 

Leadership Camp

Last week saw the Year Seven pupils pack their bags and head for 3 days of fun and  leadership training at Ashley Park. The weather was kind (for the first two days at least) and pupils were worn out but excited on their return to school. Activities included The Amazing Race, Mapping the Camp, Spotlight and  Capture the Flag to name but a few.Watch this space for pupils' reports and photos.
