Yesterday, we held a remembrance event to include the two minute silence at 11am. The event was live streamed to every class, so that the whole school could take part in remembering those who sacrificed so much.

Year 7 have been learning about the Neolithic period as part of our newly designed lessons for the Curriculum for Wales. They have been making Neolithic Grooved Ware pots and thinking about how this development was a big turning point in history. These pupils are from 7FGI.
