What fun we all had making snowmen for our very own snowman competition. We had snowmen of all shapes and sizes – even a snow dog and a snow rabbit too!

A huge thank you to our amazing site-supervisor Mr Allen, who got up in the early hours of the morning to clear the paths and enabled us to enjoy a memorable day at school.

We are delighted to announce that BBC Terrific Scientific have awarded us School of Excellence status for our outstanding work. The children are now embarking on the second year of the project which involves undertaking university led investigations and sending in data for them to add to their body of evidence. The investigations last year covered a wide range of scientific topics, from the carbon value of trees to the Mpemba effect.

At present the children are investigating the effect of exercise on the brain and will be taking part in future investigations into flexibility in feet and conservation of electricity.
