1BR had great fun making 2d shapes using lolly sticks in maths. We counted how many sides they all had and noticed that we couldn’t make circles! We had fun adding more lolly sticks into the mix and created heptagons, octagons, nonagons and decagons! Emma Bonwick

⚓Year 8 Trip to Portsmouth Historic Dockyards 🌹
Year 8 pupils recently enjoyed an educational and exciting day at Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard. Their visit began with a workshop at the Mary Rose Museum, where they investigated the reasons behind the ship’s sinking. This was followed by a guided tour of the museum, offering pupils a close-up view of fascinating objects recovered from the wreck.
A highlight of the visit was the new 4D immersive experience, allowing pupils to dive into the dramatic story of the Mary Rose’s discovery and recovery from the seabed. The group then took a harbour tour by boat, where they saw modern Royal Navy ships and learned about the rich history of the dockyard.
To finish, pupils visited the iconic Spinnaker Tower, which provided stunning views of the surrounding coastline, the Solent, and the Isle of Wight. It was a memorable day full of learning, exploration, and new perspectives on maritime history.
