Year 6 News Our Y6 got their year off to a flying start with their bikeability training. They started out on the all weather pitch and then moved onto some of the roads around school. All children gained valuable cycling experience and road safety skills.
Mad Science Assembly “The lady from Mad Science showed us an experiment where she pulled a piece of wet string through a cup. The cup acted as a resonator and the result was a sound similar to the noise a chicken makes. I was asked to come out and do a chicken dance.
