The children were very lucky recently as Michael agreed to show the senior room how to play handball. The children really enjoyed this sport, as it was something new to everyone.
Tennis has taken over in term 3 as the sport that is most popular among all classes during break and lunch time.
The senior classes were given the task of making jelly and/or a dessert which used jelly as an ingredient. The wrote up the procedure they used to rustle up these delicious dishes at home. We have quite a few budding chefs in our midst! 🙂
We have achieved our Discover Science and Maths Award!!! Our Plaque of STEM Excellence will be sent to our school in June!!! Well to the staff, pupils and parents for all their hard work!!!
