After deciding upon an intention, planning, designing and then producing a wooden cradle in our D&T morning with Thurstable School's D&T Department Mrs Deller and Miss Scotchford got serious with circuitry and decoration. The results are spectacular and, as you'll know from the Open Evening, really loud! Mr Hopegood :)

 We are coming to the end of the loan period for the camera trap supplied by the Colchester Zoological Society, and our thanks again to them. It has been a lovely addition my day to have the chance to set and choose the locations and see if any animals wandered across the trap's field of vsion. Here are a few of the highlights. And here's a nesting pigeon with a squab in the eaves spotted and photographed by Miss Russel. Mr Hopegood

 Year 5 had a real treat today, the head of D&T at Thurstable School came along with a technician and a whole car full of KS3 resources for a D&T morning. The focus was to make the cradle element of the wire buzzer game that the year group have been designing with the Year 5 teachers. As you can see, it was a very busy morning and our feedback from the Thurstable staff (that our children were engaged, polite, helpful and friendly) was wonderful!
