The highlight of the week was watching Year 4 test their amazing rockets, with one getting stuck up a tree! 

The week was finished off with a 'Mad Scientist Day' where everyone came into school with white lab coats and crazy hair. The children have spent the week excited, engaged and loving every minute of their learning, creating fabulous memories along the way.
