Bebras Challenge

Our Year 6 and 7 pupils are excited to compete in the Bebras Challenge, an international competition running in approximately 30 countries! Organised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in partnership with the University of Oxford, this challenge focuses on computational thinking through engaging online puzzles. Pupils will learn to break down problems (using decomposition and abstraction) to understand them better and come up with innovative solutions. These essential skills are not only vital for the Bebras Challenge but also apply to many elements of the computing curriculum, including coding.  Let’s support our young problem-solvers as they embrace this fantastic opportunity!

Hnefatafl counters

The Year 6 children have painted the first layer of glaze onto their Hnefatafl counters. The glaze will fill the embossed patterns created by the children and look stunning once fired in the kiln. Tom Johnson
