I love the playground and running with my friends. I love learning labs. There are always lots of fun activities like painting butterflies, making a rocket and lots of maths and numbers. I love school!

We participated in Odd Socks Day. It is an opportunity for children to celebrate their individuality! Each class participated in an anti-bullying lesson where they discussed developing a culture of respect and what to do if someone is unkind. #antibullyingweek pic.twitter.com/QNATaoaWk6— Gonville Academy (@gonvilleacademy) November 26, 2024

Year 6 students worked together to build circuits in their Science lesson this week. They joined the different components together and they even investigated how the brightness would be affected with more or less bulbs and batteries. It was a fantastic lesson!#Science pic.twitter.com/TdsRRI1rsE— Gonville Academy (@gonvilleacademy) November 26, 2024
