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!
| Shelburne | 80,627.71 |
| Fitzmaurice | 74,631.89 |
| Kerry | 72,074.50 |
| Lansdowne | 66,640.20 |

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...

10BB Assembly - How children get to school around the world.
We decided that too many of us don't fully appreciate the fantastic education that we get.
This assembly shows how much some children appreciate their education, and how determined they are to get to school. If in a few years we are competing for jobs against these people, how much harder will they have worked than us?

This assembly was inspired by a post on Google+ by +Ali Adelstein. You can see the source material, and find out a lot more about all of the pictures at https://plus.google.com/117520666412794415990/posts/eATMjyKdd93
