A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr Brierley and Rosehill Furnishings Group for kindly donating 2 full sets of new classroom furniture to our school.
As you are aware, primary school budgets are very stretched and therefore purchasing replacement classroom furniture is a luxury that we cannot afford.

What a difference they have made to the children and the classroom environment.
Rosehill offer a huge choice of quality contract furniture. They have supplied our products into thousands of public and commercial buildings since 1982 for more details see their website https://www.rosehill.co.uk/
Year 6 Experts on Electricity, by Mrs Walsh
Date: 19th Nov 2024 @ 1:13pm
During science, Year 6 have had lots of fun been about current and static electricity. They are now aware that current electricity is what powers our devices. It is the movement of electrons from atom to atom around a circuit. This movement happens at the speed of light.
They also have learned how friction between two objects creates a movement of electrons between the objects that changes their electrical charge: losing electrons makes the objects positively charged and gaining them makes the object negatively charged.
