We had our new bike station installed today, with all the tools needed to maintain and repair bikes. It even includes a foot pump! Our pupils have been trying it out this afternoon.

Year 4: Electricity in action
Year 4 applied their knowledge of electrical circuits to create their own Ted Hughes style ‘Iron Man’. The children created a simple series circuit for each LED to light up. Many children then decided to add a switch into their circuits so that they could turn the Iron Man’s eyes on and off!

Cross-Stitch in Art Club
Miss Taylor, Miss Earl and Miss Osbourne have been busy in their after-school art club, teaching the children cross-stitch skills. They all designed their own templates, before choosing coloured thread to create their own pictures and patterns. We think they look amazing!
