On Friday 15th October, the entire school experienced a once in a lifetime journey to space- with the Astrodome. This was a great start to science week and inspired all young minds to enjoy the wonders of science. Everybody loved the thrill of being able to touch this amazing creation. Astrodome is a huge creation designed to thrill and teach but in a fun way. We have also had many visitors coming in for assembly. We had Mr Rawlings come in to teach us about rockets with Year 5, solar power with Year 4 and an assembly on engineering. In addition, we had Miss Garret come in to do a workshop on cells for Year 5. Alyssa (Year 5) said that she really enjoyed learning about cells and thought that it was very informative. Chloe Askew (from Zoolab) also came in to talk about evolution and animals with Year 6 and Year 2. Kirsty (Year 6) thought that it was a really fun experience but a great learning opportunity as well. Joy Lane would like to thank everybody who took part and helped create this amazing event, especially the parents who came to give talks in school.

It is awesome because you get so much candy and you get to wear spooky masks and costumes. When you go trick or treating, you should always go with a responsible adult. Woody {Year 5} said “I love eating candy and chocolate.” You usually go to the houses that are decorated with pumpkins or anything spooky, because they are the houses that give you treats. It is a tradition to leave pumpkins out so the evil spirits don’t think they are somewhere like a graveyard and haunt your house. Erika {Year 5} said, “My birthday is 2 days before Halloween.” Let’s hope she doesn’t get any uninvited guests at her party… By Cleo Dracula LUCKY CAT RESCUED...On 5th October a cute, brown, striped cat lost one of its nine lives.
