We have had a brilliant time designing new bridges for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. There was lots of great discussion and good ideas. 

We have been making coil pots from clay

Lovely to hear some spooky poems and stories from library services today.

We had a fantastic morning working with STEM on a bridge building project.

We have been investigating how thermal conductors and insulators can affect temperature
