If your maths are good enough you are well on your way to winning the Game of Christmas! Year 4 pupils have created their own board games this week. Roll the dice, solve the maths equation and advance towards the finish! Brilliant!

Weird Science is taking place in Physics this week. Year 8s have discovered the conductive properties of Dough! Now there's a creative approach to building a circuit!

Balloons and static electricity go hand in hand! Always a fun science lesson. Year 8 enjoyed the hair raising lesson this week as they learned about the imbalance between negative and positive charges.⚡️

What's 4.6 billion years old (pre-dating Earth), crash landed in Argentina 4,000 years ago and is now our Year 5 pupils favourite new visitor? The Campo del Cielo Meteorite of course! A big thanks to Oxford University Museum of Natural History @morethanadodo @OxUniEarthSci

Eco Council (Years 7-11) & Eco Warriors (Years 4-6) enjoyed a workshop led by Manga & Abha from Reading International Solidarity Centre. We looked at thinking about Youth Activism and understood that small actions in school and as individuals can make a big difference!

Y6 have been learning about light and reflection so we made some periscopes - we learnt about how the soldiers used them in WW1 to look over the trenches - we will be mainly using them to 'spy' on our family without being noticed!!!

The team has made a great start to the IET Faraday Challenge at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories. They’ve done their planning, and are now excited to see what’s available in the ‘shop’.
