As we head towards Easter, the oldest children are going away for a 4 day residential next week! Wish them luck and sunny days ☀️☀️ Here are some of the things we’ve been doing from around school this week.
The Barn Owls have completed their ‘Science at Home’ challenge. This involved making their own musical instruments that could demonstrate pitch and amplitude. Here are some of their instruments.

Miss Gardiner, our PGCE student, led a sequence of English lessons about how to write expedition diaries. The Barn Owls were inspired by Simon Chapman’s expedition diaries and then wrote their own.
