Dragon's Den for Year 6
'Roots to Roof' Project
To complete their term's ' Roots to Roof' project, Year 6 presented their work to a 'dragon's den' on Wednesday, made up of representatives from the industries that have helped them in their work. Presenting to architects, estate agents, builders' merchants, structural engineers and quantity surveyors was a daunting task, but this 'real' audience made such a difference to the quality of their presentations.
It was a very close call but the winning team was Ballistic Builders!
Well done to everyone and an enormous thank you to everyone who gave up their time to judge.
look how our tree has grown
Thank you to those who have helped with our Advent project. We love our little tree, made from all the tin cans you have donated. As you can see it has grown a lot. The Year 6 children were delighted to work out the mathematical properties of the tree and got especially excited by their use of triangular numbers.
Children have set themselves the challenge of making the tree 'Jessie' height by the end of next week. They have informed us that it would need 160 tin cans to do this. But if everyone brought in one tin next week, it could be done. Why not put an extra tin of beans into your shopping basket over the weekend? It's all in a good cause because at the end of term all of the cans will be donated to our local food bank.
Year 3 Welcome Worship

Thank you so much for all responses to our childcare surveys. Where it's possible, we will implement any changes suggested.

They have been doing lots of fun Christmas activities recently, as well as being busy planning for our Winter Wonderland Holiday Club running Wednesday 3rd to Friday 5th January.
