Happy Christmas from DT. Here are the finished lamps designed by our Lower 6th Product Design group this term. The crackled lamp shade was made by Elliot W, who tried dome blowing mirror acrylic! Nice use of LED strip by Tom S with his blue-glow lamp. All look great this year!

The Headmaster and pupils have been supported by Mr Tasker and the DT department to create beehive parts.

This will mean that the beekeeping team will be able to hit the ground running when the bees emerge again in the spring. We currently have four hives in the School Apiary.
