Welcome back everyone! It might have been a wet and windy one this week, but nothing can really dampen your spirits when you are surrounded by such fabulous staff and young people.
Stevie the Wonderdog
Our adorable and kind Stevie paid a wellbeing visit to 8H as you can see he and the pupils had a wonderful time together!
Internet Safety
As a parent of a teenager I completely understand how difficult it can be to decide if your child should have access to any form of social media! Read this guide for additional advice and support.
Super Science!
As you can see 7M have had great fun investigating how sound travels using cup phones. Who needs a mobile when you can use this method instead?!
