Mr. Zee visited the school and worked with all the children. They worked in small groups to design, make and test roller-coasters. As the sessions progressed Mr. Zee introduced different problems for them to solve. All the children thoroughly enjoyed this type of engineering and learned lots about kinetic energy.

Fresh vegetable soup!!! At the end of September the children dug up some potatoes, pulled up some spring onions and made use of the courgettes by making vegetable soup. We enjoyed this lovely, hot soup served with crusty, buttered rolls before big break.
In the middle of October we harvested more potatoes and also carrots and turnips and we cleared the garden ready for winter.

A lovely day was had by all on a sunny Sunday in May at our Annual Duck Race. The children designed little boats that were then sailed down the river. There was a competition for best designed boat. The ducks were released and Calum Hankin’s duck won the race. The children enjoyed the Hook-a-Duck, duck Egg-and-Spoon races, hot-dogs and ice-creams. Thanks to all involved for your hard work.
