Our Green Schools & our Active Schools committees visited every classroom to encourage pupils to be active using the greenest form of transport there is - walking!!

Deposit Return Scheme
After Christmas, we will begin the Deposit Return Scheme at school. Every Thursday morning, we will collect plastic bottles and aluminium cans in our new orange returns bin which will be located at the hall door. Thank you to members of the PA who researched and applied for the scheme and got the bin delivered to the school. The money raised will go towards the funding of our new play space.

We had another amazing Science Week in school! On Tuesday our junior school classes took part in a workshop with Gabi from Creative Classrooms. They learned lots about the scientific topic of light and shadow. On Wednesday we had our annual Super Science Quiz in the hall. It was very close and everyone showed off all their scientific knowledge! Congratulations to team nine on their win! Finally, on Friday our senior school classes took part in a workshop with Roisin from Mess Chef. The children learned about acids, bases and chemical reactions while making delicious doughnuts and pink lemonade!
