Number Day Wednesday 3rd February 2016

What a fantastic day filled with numbers - wonderful fancy dress and amazing thinking/ problem solving tasks throughout the day. As a school we raised £108.15 and have given this money to the NSPCC. Well done to all those who came dressed in numbers and thank you to those who donated. 

Assembly

Mrs Eke decided that today would be a great time to challenge all teachers to complete the 35 club challenge, they had three minutes to answer their classes questions. However, they were allowed help from their class, Ms Killa answered all her questions with 1 minute 22 seconds to spare!
