Mayflower Minute

"This week will be packed full of learning. We hope that you enjoy challenging yourself in lessons and creating learning that you'll remember forever."

Below, our pioneer group of Made In Mayflower Media pupils share a film about what is taking place this week. The group has set themselves the challenge of updating us on the week's events. Their real challenge will be keeping to one minute of filming. On the first attempt, they / we failed miserably, but had a great time trying. This could become a bit of an ongoing challenge for the team. It brings the pupils who are involved a bit of humour. 

These are our headlines for the week ahead:
