SCIENCE CLUB WORKS ON BIO FUELS
12:46pm Wednesday 5th March 2008
SCIENCE CLUB meets on Thursday evening after school in the Chemistry Lab. They are working on a long term project, building a weather station and growing examples of biomass fuels to test out theories surrounding climate change and plant growth.
They visited a farm in Eastham, during the autumn, to look at an example of Miscanthus (Elephant Grass ) growing in the Teme Valley as a biomass crop. They have recently revisited the farm to see how the crop looks ready for harvesting and, with the permission of the farmer, they dug up some roots and are to grow the plant on in a specially designated area at school.

Club was a welcome back for our soldiers
AS a welcome home from the war, it was a touch on the genteel side. After all, when you’d been dodging Hitler’s bombs and bullets for a few years, you could probably have thought of better things to do on your first night back on civvie street than wander down the social club and listen to a bloke playing a violin.
