The Space seeds have landed!
Seeds that have been floating on the International Space Station, along with
Tim Peake have finally completed their 6 month mission and have returned to
Earth ready to be planted! Grange Academy has been selected to grow these
seeds as part of a nationwide study to discover the effects of weightlessness
and cosmic radiation on seeds in space. If you are interested in taking part
please come to Miss Kadel's classroom S024, at lunchtime on the 19th April
(Tuesday after the holidays). This experiment has never been attempted on
such a large scale - who knows what we will be growing?

A reminder to all pupils that extra
curricular clubs are up and running
in the PE department. Short tennis
