Pupils will perform science experiments such as ‘popping rockets’, ‘erupting lava’ and make a variety of sticky putty…smile!
Term 3: Cooking club
Based on healthy eating, food hygiene and the safe handling of cooking equipment, our cooking club offers the chance to create a variety of food items and snacks.
Term 4: Photography club
Budding photographers can get out about around school capturing what they see. We then plan on holding an exhibition of the pupils’ snaps.

As part of our Forest Schools programme pupils will undertake a variety of ‘wildness’ style activities such as den building, camp fire building, searching for minibeasts and using the mud kitchen.
