This term, the Year 6 pupils have been introduced to Electricity in their Science classes. This topic will spark the interest of the pupils as they will be doing several experiments in order to develop their scientific skills. The pupils’ curiosity was aroused as they displayed great enthusiasm inquiring about various ways to create static electricity. One of them even said she usually never enjoys Science but this has been one of her best and interesting lessons.

Luke Temple, a passionate children’s author, visited our school on 15th January 2024. During his visit, he conducted exciting literature workshops, which ignited the pupils’ appetite for reading and writing. The children received valuable insights into the creative writing process and the inspiration behind his many books. Over 100 of our pupils held intellectual conversations with him during the book signing event, which took place the following day.
