Jade, Amber, Aria and Bryanna all went and Jade and Bryanna qualified for Thames Valley White Cluster which is even better! FUTURE OLYMPIANS!!! :-)

Trolley project

Three of  room threes students  (Cam,Matt and Kyron) have been working on a trolley for the Thames trolley derby for the past few weeks. We have decided to name it Grey Power. It has a spring loader break and a cup holder for some coke. It is painted titanium grey and has a aluminum silver stripe down the middle of the trolley.

It is a shiny DEMON!!!
