Tramway Tales
Congratulations to Year 7 for their wonderful performance of 'Morningtown Ride' and for the lauch of the book which they helped to write, in collaboration with St Eugene's Primary School in Victoria Bridge.
Thank you also to the family members who were able to come and share the experience.
Shadow Investigation
We had to make two attempts at our shadow investigation as the rain washed our first attempt away!
By drawing around our shadows in the morning and then standing in the same spot in the afternoon we were able to learn that our shadows change in length and direction during the day, depending on where the sun is in the sky.
Tramway Tales
Year 7 are busy preparing for the launch of the book, 'Tramway Tales', which they helped to write.
In Year 6, they collaborated with pupils from St Eugene's Primary School, Victoria Bridge, taking part in workshops to inspire their creative writing.
They look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 5th October for the official launch.
Celebrating European Language Day
Year 7 students came to school dressed up today and represented countries such as Germany, Portugal, Poland and Scotland. They tried to match flags to languages and discovered different ways to say 'hello.'
A big thank you from Year 7 to the kitchen staff for providing pizza and pancakes for break!
