Thank you to all who came to see us on Tuesday night at the Meet the Teacher Event. We really appreciate you taking the time to come in and see how our Learning Hub will be operating this year. We are really happy to have you on board. After the discussions we had with you that evening, we have made the following changes. As of Monday, children who bring mobile phones to school with them, will hand them to us at the start of the day and it will be returned to them at 3pm. We will store them securely and carefully.
This week our Year 7s and 8s had their first Technology Session at Lincoln Primary. Although the bus failed to arrive to pick them up, we had a Plan B up our sleeves and many thanks go to Mrs Spragg, Mrs Manton and Mr Robertson for ferrying them there. We had a lovely email from Lincoln about how fantastic our children were and how they were living up to our HERO values. We are super proud of them.
In other news this week, we created structures out of spaghetti and marshmallows, with the goal being to see who could build the tallest structure that could support a kinder egg for at least 30 seconds. They worked collaboratively in groups to design and then make their structure. There was a varied amount of success with this activity, with many not prepared to accept defeat and coming up with new plans and ideas based on what they had learnt from their first attempt. We have some real budding designers on our hands.
