Working on the skills of communication, teamwork and self-management, a group of our Year 5 and 6 children attended workshops at Eagle House School this week, making full use of the Science Lab and Art Studio. The art activities and science investigations were thrilling and engaging and our pupils came back to school buzzing with excitement, totally enthused for Science and Art. It was good to hear the compliments from the Eagle House Staff about the exemplary behaviour and enthusiasm shown by our children. They were a credit to Velmead.
