We have been busy recording podcasts and finding out costs for our friend Phileas Fogg. We planned the route around the world and looked at the cheapest and easiest route for him to travel on. It was very interesting finding out the big differences in flight costs.

Week beginning 16th May

So proud of our school choir representing the school at the 57th anniversary of the Cambrian disaster. They were requested to sing "Working Man" by David Alexander, a fitting tribute to the miners who lost their lives; their behaviour was also commended as impeccable by members of the community.
