Our ‘new’ fruit this week was blackberries. Most of us really liked them as they were very sweet but one person gave them a 2.5 out of 10. On Monday afternoon we had Miss Troughton for My Creativity. We did a witches and wizards dot to dot and a maze. It was really hard work to find the correct…

This week in English, we thought of a place we would like to visit on holiday and created a word bank to describe it. We then used these words to tell our families about our holiday on a postcard. We had to be sure to not write too much, as postcards aren't very big, but I think we all got across…

It has been a lovely week in 8P and we have all been busy taking part in lots of different activities. 

To help us with our maths, we had a trip out to a local supermarket where we chose things from our  shopping list. We each took turns to pick items up from the shelves, but the best part was…

It has been a busy week for the pupils and staff in 8P. 

We have done lots of hard work and also had lots of fun. 

Unfortunately, the rain meant that we had to use the school transport to take part in our weekly shopping trip (instead of practising our travel training), but we still had a…

This week in our food technology activity, 8A participated in making some war time biscuits.
