ENTERPRISE WEEK

Last week we had a very exciting talk from Mr Webster who is one of the school governors; He works with Ms Buckley on the money side. The talk was about Enterprise week and we were all very interested. Mr Webster talked about big companies such as Virgin and Apple and how they all started as an apprentice company. They all had a passion to do something which is one of the reasons why their businesses are so successful. We will have lots of fun in enterprise week.

Harvest Assembly

On Friday the 5th October we had a special Harvest assrmbely; in which some people from Sycamore and Willow peerformed solo'. The adults from Lyndon care home were very impressed and showed their gratitude. We all loved the singing and the school council showed us their own little play which involved showing us how far different food put on pizzas came from and encouraged us to cook our own food rather than pick up the phone and call a takeaway.Finlay and Raj.

Last Friday in golden time, in arts and crafts and cooking, some people  made some biscuits; they were based on animal and insects designs; here are some examples
