8A

We've had a crazy busy few weeks in 8A these last few weeks.

Last week, Megan had the brilliant idea that we could all take part in a Secret Santa; everyone chose a name out of a hat and then they needed to buy their "secret" friend a present. Mrs Crouch suggested we could all go into town to…

In 8A for Children in Need this year we have decided to make and sell dog biscuits to staff. Josh designed an order form and Owen G, Daniel and Jake made some money boxes. JJ, Teddy, Megan, Amelia and Annie worked as a team to make the biscuits we used Pudsey Bear shape biscuit cutters to cut out…

Today we are celebrating Diwali in school. 8A thought about what we had learnt last year about Diwali as part of our Year 7 “celebrations” theme.

This week in 8A, Annie brought her business “Annie’s dog treats” into class. We have had a great time helping Annie create dog treats to give to Coco the dog. We had to work as a team to follow the recipe to create the treats. We took Coco for a walk and then rewarded her with a treat that we had…

This half term in our Me and My Body lessons, 8A will be developing skills to play team games. We haven’t played hockey before in 8A so we are starting to learn to control a ball using a hockey stick and we will be applying these skills to simple hockey games. We had so much fun in the sun today.…
