Button Box

What a busy week for Year 6!  Well done to ALL our pupils who threw themselves into the production of the Button Box this week.  What a wonderful performance- the children should all be incredibly proud of their achievements, and we hope that parents all enjoyed (or for those yet to see it – enjoy!) the show as much as we did! Here are just a few photos…

Year 7 Science

Year 7 enjoyed a hands on Science lesson about Photosynthesis today, boiling geranium leaves and testing them for starch content.  Experiments like this bring learning to life!

From the Senior Library

Imagine a world where your only friends are virtual, and big tech companies control access to food, healthcare and leisure. This is Jess’s world. But when she turns fourteen, Jess can go to school with other children for the first time. Most of them hate the ‘real’ world, but Jess begins to question whether the digital world is ‘perfect’ after all. 

Back home, her sister Chloe’s life-saving medication is getting ever more expensive. Determined to help, Jess risks everything by using skills forbidden in the cyber-world, only to stumble on something explosive. Something that will turn her whole world upside down.

It’s up to Jess to figure out exactly what is real, and what is fake – Chloe’s survival depends on it.
