Well done all, it looks fantastic! ... See more

Sun Safe Week

School and College took part in a variety of activities as part of Sun Safe Week to raise awareness of sun safety. During form time, learners worked collaboratively to complete a STEM recycling challenge. Forms created their own bug using UV-sensitive beads and used classroom materials to design and build the perfect shelter to protect their bug from the sun. If the beaded bug changes colour in the sun, learners will know that the shelter does not work and have the opportunity to make improvements. Mrs J Taylor commented… “What a competition this year!! You have all really shown spirit and imagination! Miss Wallwork found it so difficult to choose just one and asked me to have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize this year. Prizes will be given out in my assembly on Monday 29th April, along with excellence awards that have been nominated by staff.
Here goes..
1st Prize goes to Form K; 'Sheldon’s' lightweight portable home is fab!
2nd Prize goes to Form H; 'Carl's' home is fit for purpose and fit for a wife!
3rd prize goes to Form M; fencing to keep predators away, canopy for shade, along with reflective card to keep the area as cool as possible.
Thank you to everyone for all your effort and hard work.” ... See more
