Year 5 & 6 – We Need You in School Next Week! We've got an exciting week ahead and don't want anyone to miss out! We will be taking part in a fun workshop with the Mini Police, where we'll be exploring the importance of personal responsibility and how our choices can have a positive impact on ourselves and others. In Design & Technology, we'll also be starting work on our Hand Wire Game projects! We'll be designing our own games, so it's time to get those creative minds working. Have a think before next week: What would make a really fun hand wire game design? Could it have a theme? Tricky twists and turns? Obstacles? Bright colours? We can't wait to see your ideas come to life. Make sure you're in school and ready to get involved!
