The YES project has started in Year 6 again! The YES project is an entrepreneurial scheme which gets students to form a company and to make a product which can be sold. It focuses on students working together as a group, conducting market research, making a business plan, pitching for a budget, working out potential sales profit, sourcing materials and making and selling the product. Students have already been allocated teams to work in and made prototypes of potential products. The stage most recently completed has been the market research with the Year 4 and 5 students, who will be the main customers. This helps the groups decide on what products they will make for the YES fair, how to price them and what colours / designs would be most popular. The next step was to develop a business plan and pitch for a budget from Mr. Turner – hopefully every group was successful! The next step is ordering the materials and waiting for them to arrive ready for production to begin! The sale will be later on in December.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
