Science week was hampered by the inclement weather and the planned activities had to be rescheduled, however the year 6 trip to Oxted Science fair was enjoyed by one and all, especially the dancing flame tube which changed the height of the flames depending on the music. Year 7 have looked at conservation projects and their work has been extremely good with Chloe Redston winning the chance to adopt an animal as the prize for the best project. Year 5 have made some amazing useful objects out of rubbish,...
A fascinating experince was had by all at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. The year 7′s who had recently been learning about the planets and the stars and moon, went off for the day to the Astronomy centre. First a Planetarium show……our students showed their knowledge and asked some pertinent questions……the Astronomist who lead the session was very impressed! Then time for a wander around the centre looking at Flamwell house and the meridian line, along with the interactive...
3KW want to find out how much damage different drinks have on our teeth. The emphasis was on making this a fair test. First we weighed some eggs to check they were about the same size (60-70g).

Sadly Joseph’s remarkable alien had an accident and had to go home, but we have the photo to prove he was here. Well done year 7’s! Other students are all working hard on topics such as Living organisms, Human reproduction...
Year 3 made a quick visit to Sainsburys on Friday to check out the food trolleys of some unsuspecting shoppers. Did they have a balanced selection of goodies in their trolleys? The children were very well behaved and the staff were continously asked where they came from. They were also complemented on their knowledge of the different food groups by shoppers and Sainsburys staff alike. Thanks to Ian for the celebrations which they enjoyed during their late break back at school. More trips will definitely...
