Summer 2019

One Giant Leap... (20th July)

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landing! Why not take a look right down this page at some of our work on the subject. You might also want to look at this YouTube video of astronaut Michael Collins detailing the Apollo 11 mission.

The Final End (18th July)   A terribly sad day as we said farewell to our talented Year 4s who, since way back in September, have been an endless source of inspiration and laughter. They will be missed.

Teamwork was put to further good use this afternoon too...

Sadly, the one negative part of today was saying goodbye to Miss Belchamber, a talented Work Experience student who has given a great deal to our class in the desperately short time that she has been with us. We wish her every success in the future.

Have a great weekend!
