Arts Week

As part of Arts Week, Mr Kidney hosted a fantastic 'School's Got Talent' Evening. It certainly proved that this school really has got talent!
Years 4, 5 and 7 took part in a Puzzle Challenge Day designing and making puzzles. Andrew Cooney, an explorer who has visited the South Pole, came to speak to Upper School children about his experiences. The pupils gained some first-hand experience of life in a tent!
Year 6 took part in a Victorian Day. The children came to school dressed in typical Victorian dress and had went to a Victorian school for the day.
Year 1 had a visit from the Zoo Lab - they brought some interesting animals for the children to meet! Year 1 took part in the Circus Workshop and were able to practise some juggling and balancing skills.
