This is Florence with her winning 'Bug Vegas' bug box creation! She started this in a Discovery Day session run by the Geography Department for our local primary school St Marks. We are so impressed with her design!
Miss Rawlinson was thrilled to visit the St Marks's Cold Ash to teach Reception class about volcanoes this week. The students then went on to create some impressive pieces based on what they had learnt! @DowneHouse
