As part of our Year 2 transport topic, 2 Ocean made and tested boats. Our Science unit of learning is materials, so we tested different materials to find out which ones floated and were sturdy. We then worked in small groups to decide which material we would use to make our boats. We designed our boats and planned how we would make them. Some of us tested joining materials such as glue and tape for water resistance. Then we made our boats. Next, we tested them in water, placing 10g weights on them to see which could hold the most weight. We found that the best material to use was tin foil as it didn't let in any water. We also thought that the size of the boat helped it to hold so much weight.

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.
