Ernest Price, Director of English, sent us a letter sharing all the fun the teachers and students have had since.

Collabowriters are running a ‘come and test’ day at Westvale Community Centre on 3 and 4 October, and would like to invite children and their families to drop-in and make space-age planes, DIY ping-pong shooters and comics with them!

On October 5, hopeful time travellers can make an interactive screen-based installation called Hello Future Self, thanks to artist Steve Berrick. Children will draw and create characters that his technology will bring to life through real-time animation.

We need YOU to attend a special session of Level 87 Book Club on 5 October, 2-4pm and help us, the young people, sort out some important literary matters.
