Year 5 & 7 Theme Park 2013

Once again Year 7 and Year 5 took part in a competition to design the best theme park that they possibly could.

With many of year 7 having recently been to Paulton's park as their rewards trip for the year, they knew what would make a good day out.  This was their chance to put that into practice.

With a budget of £500,000 teams (in houses) had to choose how many of different sorts of rides, as well as the more mundane car parking, and toilet blocks; all important in a theme park.



As you can see, there was a lot to think about!

Here, from top to bottom, is the order of teams.  Well done to everybody, espeically to our Year 5 visitors who did stunningly well (and at one point looked like they were going to win the day!).  When you join year 7 you have every chance of winning the day outright!


This was also a house competition, and to make it fair we are taking the mean of every house team. Results for this are...

Shelburne80,627.71
Fitzmaurice74,631.89
Kerry72,074.50
Lansdowne66,640.20
Well done to everyone that took part.

Open Evening 2013

Huge thanks to everyone that came to open evening last night!

We were very impressed by the number of our year 5 students who were able to answer our "Golden Question" from the year 5 lesson on Tuesday.

The question we asked them was...
What is 2 divided by 7 (mod12)
An amazing number of students were able to give us the correct answer; with the correct reasons.

To see the results of our Boys vs Girls competitions, and to see if people really could tell the differecne between value chocolate and Dairy Milk, or two different brands of orange squash, go to our Open Evening minisite here...
