Dean Academy
Hockney class had a brilliant time at Dean Academy taking part in a Science and cookery themed day. The children tested how much energy was in different types of vegetables using the bunsen burners in Science and then having the chance to make their very own healthy muffins as part of cookery.
It was a super day and a special thank you to Dean Academy for inviting us in!
Cheltenham Literature Festival
Hockney class had a wonderful time at the Cheltenham Literature Festival seeing Cressida Cowell.
The children managed to buy a book and get it signed by the author. Well done to all involved!
Cross Country
Well done to the Year 5 and 6 children who took part in the cross country competition at Five acres on Thursday. The children ran almost a mile in windy and cold conditions.
Well done to Olivia who finished 23rd and Liam who finished 49th out of 100 girls and boys races respectively. Excellent effort all!
