No glue, no nails, and no screws! For our Tech project, we had to design and make miniature furniture that only stayed together by slotting the pieces into each other. First, we drew up our templates on the computer in LightBurn. After that, we used the laser cutter to cut out our mini prototypes. All our designs went into a big competition judged by Mr Stone, Mr Harris, Mrs Williamson, and Mr Savill. Out of 200 students, the winners got the awesome prize of having their designs made in life-size. Cooper, Clayton, and a few others ended up winning! Both of these are on display at the school office.

Cluster Athletics is done and dusted for 2026. A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day a success. The children all had a great day and participated with good spirit and sportsmanship.
