New videos on our weblog

Check out the two new videos recently added to our weblog. Links are on the homepage to a School Tour (top of the page), and a very funny clip when Fab Flournoy visited our school (link on the left hand side of the page).
The School Tour video was created by a group of Year 5 and Year 6 children attending ICT social club, along with some other children in our current Year 6 class.
Enjoy!
