A well deserved celebration for our Year 10s who sat their second GCSE English Language paper today. Enjoy your afternoon - you should all be proud of yourselves!

The Kittens have been busy in the Skylab, making a variety of textile items from lavender bags, patchwork and drawstring bags. What an amazing achievement.

This week Kittens Class visited Sutton Hoo in Suffolk to explore Anglo-Saxon history. Viewing the royal ship burial site and other treasures.

Sutton Hoo National Trust

Today we all celebrated Sir David Attenborough's 100th Birthday in our school garden with delicious cakes and snacks.
***Happy Birthday Sir David!!

Another great day on the Isle of Man residential, a trip to Cregneash where we saw traditional Manx thatched cottages, Loagtan sheep, a Manx cat, and a wonderful tour with Manx music! We then traveled to The Sound where we spotted seals, before going to Port Erin for an afternoon in the sun on the beach!

Isle of Man residential is in full swing! 🌟
Today, students boarded the Snaefell Mountain Railway 🚞—taking in breathtaking (and very windy!) views from the top.
They then enjoyed an afternoon of climbing and abseiling. What a fantastic day!

Our students recently enjoyed visiting the lambs at Gayton Farm, what a great way to end the term - Happy Easter from Hope Tree School

The students have worked well in Design and Technology this half term- using saws, rasps and pin hammers. Making these simple string art pieces. The project helps to develop hand eye co-ordination

A big thank you to Fay Jones, The Woodland Haberdasher for running a natural dyeing workshop for the Year 10's G.C.S.E Textiles group. The results are amazing considering that they all started with white wool.

We hope you had a great Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year!
We look forward to welcoming the students back on Tuesday 6th January.
