Read MoreJunior Maths Challenge
Published 05/06/19On Tuesday 30th April, Year 8s who are in set one for maths , Year 7s who are also in set one for maths and a few set one year 6s, took place in the Junior Maths Challenge. The Junior Maths Challenge is a very demanding test, which is full of long, detailed questions that all carry a lot of marks. Unlike other tests, you can lose marks if you attempt a question and get it wrong. Your mark doesn’t really matter because it’s not like a test that will determine your sets for anything; it’s just a challenge to get your brain thinking… A LOT! It is very hard. Good luck to anybody that takes part. Let’s hope we can get lots of bronze, silver and gold certificates!
Read MoreCrafternoon Tea
Published 05/06/19On the 3rd of May, Mrs. Cheape hosted another Crafternoon Tea. Several parents turned up with their kids to have an afternoon of crafting. It gave the GEMS pupils and their parents an opportunity to show off their crafting skills while having fun. There were several things to do; canvas painting, bag painting, decorate a mug, create a hedgehog book and sewing squares. The people who went to the Crafternoon Tea were given tea (obviously), coffee and biscuits while they worked on their crafts and chatted to their family and friends. The Crafternoon tea was, yet again, a success and the people who went had lots of fun and £200 was raised for Love Quilts UK.
