Five Senacre Wood primary students have put engineers and designers to shame with their brilliant invention 'The Washer-Upper'! This crafty invention would put an end to arguments around who does the washing up. (Great if you ask us!) The scheme, which was backed by 'Wallace and Gromit' inventors and the Government, is the biggest of it's kind. If you're interested in entering this year's competition, then why don't you take a look at last year's entries at www.crackingideas.com?     http://www.extratuition.com/maidstone/post-98-climate-change-in-maidstone.html In an alarming report we discover that Maidstone is most 'at risk' area in the UK when it comes to the dangers of climate change. According to the borough council changes will be made to prevent this. http://www.extratuition.com/maidstone/post-97-parents-are-failing-comprehension-tests.html No, parents are not failing comprehension tests 'literally', but rather failing to understand the complex format of the SAT's tests themselves.
