Earlier in the week, the Year 6's were surprised by a letter from the 'War Office' saying that they were going to be evacuated. Before long they had their name labels on and were escorted to the hall, where staff members from the school came down to choose a couple of evacuees to take back. Of course, this was all staged as part of Year 6's topic on World War II. 福利姬 found themselves in unfamiliar locations, some had to do jobs such as folding and cleaning, while others had to take part in senior lessons. The pupils came back buzzing and have produced some great writing out of their surprise experience.

In DT, Year 10 have kicked off their new user-centred design project by analysing a range of pizza cutters.
What looks like a simple product quickly becomes a deep dive into ergonomics, anthropometrics, usability and sustainable design. From grip comfort and hand size to safety, ease of use and material choices, students are discovering just how many design decisions hide in everyday objects.
A brilliant hands-on way to explore how good design puts the user first. We can鈥檛 wait to see the creative and thoughtful outcomes that come next .

Forest Craft Club Creativity.
A huge well done to our brilliant Forest Craft Club this term!
The children have been busy combining bushcraft skills with creativity, using clove hitches, square lashing and natural sticks to build these beautiful rustic frames. Inside each one is their own artwork, created with pen and watercolour, inspired by the woodland around us.
A wonderful mix of practical knot-tying and artistic expression - and the finished pieces look fantastic!

Year 1 enjoyed investigating everyday materials to see which were magnetic and challenged themselves to find out how many paper clips a magnet could hold. Great hands-on learning!
