Our school hall was transformed into a dance floor tonight! All our children had an amazing time dancing and singing and most importantly doing the Conga with Mrs Ewens and Mrs Melvin! A fab time was had by all and topped off with juice and biscuits made it a night not to be forgotten.

Tonight in STEM club, the children worked extremely hard on making fidget spinners. The children are really enjoying these sessions and are embedding a range of skills which is lovely to see. Well done STEM clubbers!

Today we had our Mad Science Assembly! The theme of today's assembly was the Science of Sounds and the children were amazed by the experiments that they witnessed.

Today our school council met with Jackie, Megan, Rob and Andy to form a plan to tackle the speeding of drivers past our school.
