Maths In Motion
Over the last year we have been taking part in an after-school activity called Maths in Motion. We had to combine mathematics and strategy to make a virtual car that would successfully get around a race track. We battled our way through the qualifying heats to make it to the World Finals. Around the world there were 26 teams competing from as far away as Australia. During the day of the finals we measured, calculated, tested, adjusted, fuelled and argued to produce our very own top-notch car. We then waited with anticipation and doubt to see where we would come

The Student Librarians
The student librarians: Emily Foster and Demi Wareing, organised for Year 7 pupils to attend the library to celebrate a love of reading and to congratulate our passionate student readers that have been reading all year long. They had lots of yummy treats to eat but the real treat was that they were able to chat about what they had been reading and recommend books to each other in the calm atmosphere of our library. The student librarians intend on holding more events for all students over the next academic year…Well done librarians; keep up the good work!
