Shakespeare Week
We have received a packet of 100 seeds from space, which we will be growing alongside 100 seeds that haven’t been to space and measuring the differences over six weeks. The out-of-this-world, nationwide science experiment will enable the children to think more about how we could preserve human life on another planet in the future, what astronauts need to survive long-term missions in space and the difficulties surrounding growing fresh food in challenging climates. For parents payments on line go to www.schoolmoney.co.uk
Shakespeare Week is a national annual celebration giving primary school children a great first encounter with Shakespeare. We recently celebrated the life of William Shakespeare and his works in a variety of different ways.
