Loose Parts Circus

Room 9 entertained everyone at assembly on the 14th of June with a circus made up of loose parts. It was amazingly choreographed and awesome to see the students using a range of waste materials that had been saved from landfill in new and imaginative ways.

Honey Harvest

Our Stanhope bees have been very busy over the summer! On the 1st of February our beekeepers collected 35 frames of honey from our two beehives. The next day, they extracted the honey out of the frames and bottled a massive 56kg of Stanhope Road School raw honey!
