Willow class loved the weather this week!

Snowdrop have been budding gardeners this week and enjoyed planting their own sunflowers! Over the coming weeks we will be excited to watch them grow and see the sunflowers at each stage of their life cycle!

The CPA Silver team successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Practice Expedition. During the expedition, they demonstrated a positive attitude, resilience, and a willingness to work as part of a team. They showed good effort in developing key skills such as navigation, teamwork, and campcraft. Despite the challenges that come with outdoor expeditions, including weather conditions and physical demands, they remained committed and engaged throughout. They were respectful of others, followed instructions carefully, and contributed well. Well done Team Silver !

Ash Class had the best day at the farm last Friday

We are pleased to share an update from the Silver Practice Expedition at Walesby. Participants have settled in well and are making excellent progress as they put their training into practice. Throughout the day, the team have been navigating their planned routes, demonstrating strong teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience. It has been great to see their confidence growing as they manage the challenges of the expedition.

In History, we are learning about the Norman Conquest. Kite Class have been taking part in a brand new gameshow called "Britains Next Top Monarch". Harold Godwinson, Harald Hardrada and William Duke of Normandy pleaded their cases as to why they deserved the throne to Kite Class. Kite Class analysed each speech and spoke about their strengths and weaknesses. They then came to a conclusion as to who would be best to be crowned!

In Science, Hawk Class are learning about forces. Today we looked at Mr Simpson's bike and tried to identify all the push and pull forces. How many can you spot/think of?

Animal Technicians – First Session at Our Sixth Form Site This week we welcomed a new cohort of Animal Technicians to our Sixth Form site, and wow... what an incredible start! Three students joined us from Cambridge Park Academy, and although they were understandably a little nervous about handling the animals at first, they completely blew us all away. Within just 10 minutes, their confidence grew and they were calmly and confidently handling all of our animals from Spyro the bearded dragon to our rats and guinea pigs . Their enthusiasm, bravery, and willingness to step outside their comfort zones was truly inspiring. We couldn't be prouder of how quickly they adapted and supported one another. We can't wait to see how these fantastic students continue to grow on their Animal Technician journey!

Hawk Class had an amazing morning learning about animals at Hall Farm Messingham! The children met the cows, sheep, chickens and Farmer Jamie showed us around. Feeding the cows and feeling the calves moving inside their mothers. Catching the sheep with a shepherd's crook and collecting the eggs from the free range chickens and testing to see if they were fresh.

WOW!! The Eco Ambassadors have been busy today! You will see a huge difference as you enter the car park. One of the new flower beds is weed free after over an hour of hard work!! Great job!!

Willow class have had a lovely first week back exploring our theme: Who lives in the jungle? There's been lots of engagement and fun in the sun
