02.01.2022 "You've been slimed! Ms Smith's Year 7s are exploring Biology this term in Science, with a focus on classification and the characteristics of living things. All classes have had the opportunity to look at the common garden snail up close, and investigate how they move, grow, eat and respond. Did you know that snails can live up to 5 years? An option for a new pet perhaps?!"
