Students and staff have been making the most of the sunshine and have enjoyed the outdoors: playing football, making use of our school bikes and most recently using our new KS4 outside bench whilst taking part in some general knowledge quizzes. Did you know that a snail can sleep for up to three years AND there are 366 dimples on a golf ball. We have been learning all kinds of random knowledge and there have certainly been some interesting conversations generated as a result.

We are also extremely lucky to have been able to visit our farm this week. The farm animals have been cared for by KS4, ensuring that all the animals have had enough food and water in this heat!

A talking point across both onsite and offsite students has been life after lock down. We have been discussing the restrictions that are to be lifted on the 4th July. Everyone seems to be looking forward to the barbers and hairdressers opening again. Some have been waiting for a haircut since February so there's no surprise that we’re all looking forward to them opening soon.

The offsite students have been working on their core work alongside a photography task. Students have been asked to take some photos of the blue skies. There’s certainly been some amazing opportunities for this with the weather being so lovely. We have also learnt that JNA has some amazing photographers.

We hope your week has been as lovely as ours has.

Take care and keep safe!
