Pine Tree Class: A Spring in our step

Date: 20th Mar 2025 @ 3:44pm

What a lovely sunny week it has been, the students have been enjoying their outside time this week making the most of the (slightly) warmer weather. 

We've had a really busy week this week in Pine Tree with lots of different things going on. 

Our topic this week has been Design Technology, where we have been designing and making our own torches. First we did the design on a piece of paper and chose which colours we were going to use and which materials. Once we had completed this, we got to work on our torch. We created the base using our chosen materials and colours. We then used foil and a cardboard cup for the light to reflect off inside the cup and then used a simple circuit to create the light. 

In Music this week, we joined forces with Maple Tree and did some practising for our Music sharing session next week. We showed each other what we have been learning and the students tried really hard. 

We have also enjoyed visiting Sixth Form on Thursday afternoon to experience their Bistro! The children enjoyed a cake and a refreshing drink after being waited on by the Sixth Form students, it was a lovely end to a busy week.

Love Pine Tree x
