 Friday 21st July 2023  Football! This morning, the some of the Giraffes, Tigers and Leopards participated in a football tournament. They showed lots of determination, amazing sportsmanship of course wonderful skills. A delightful performance today from all involved!  We were having way too much fun on the pitch to remember to take any photographs of the game!

 Giraffes works in teams to design and make a  home security device with a sensor. Using their knowledge of electrical circuits, conductors and insulators, they designed their device and constructed their models.
