The children at St. Andrew's had fun this week when they played Beetle Drive after school. Many of them had never played the game before but they soon got the hang of it and there was great excitement in the room. The overall winner was Joe from Oak class with a fantastic score of over 130 points. It is hoped to repeat the event and we may even let parents play this time.

On Thursday Mrs Davies organised for everyone from Reception through to Year 6 to go on a visit to Woodroffe School for Science Week.
Whilst we were there we spent time in one of the science laboratories helping to design a new polymer. In the afternoon we saw a falconry display and looked at the science behind the hunting styles of the different birds. The highlight was seeing a 1m high White Tailed Sea Eagle, the same size as some of the children!
