Upper School House Assembly This Thursday during our tutor assembly we were put into different groups in our houses and challenged to make an animal out of balloons, paper and tape. Groups were frantically trying to create rabbits, snakes, elephants, giraffes and there was even a sloth hanging off a tree! There were also mystery questions which when answered correctly, teams would get extra materials.

At the end the winner was announced and of course it was the one and only Pioneers!
