VE Celebrations!

As part of the VE Day commemorations to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, pupils made medals. They learnt about the different campaign medals that were awarded and also watched an informative docudrama about VE Day by the British Legion.

Words were added to the medals to acknowledge the British values that men and women fought and died for during the war and that we enjoy today. Catherine Duncumb

Year 7 Carnegies Book Group

This week the Year 7 Carnegies listened to first time author and illustrator Kate Rolfe explaining her working practice for her book ‘Wolf and Bear.’ They learnt some technical terms such as ‘gutter’ and ‘foil’ embossing’ and well as how much work goes into producing an illustrated book.
