Tim tries: Baking

This week Tim has turned his hand to a spot of cooking, more specifically baking some brownies for cake Monday. No absentees yet means it must have been good. Well done Tim.

Cake Monday

Lady GaGa once said 'The sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.'

I have literally no idea what that means but here at Rocktownsend Monday afternoons are for cake. This week was Richard Sharps turn and he did not disappoint.

Robinson Returns

Tim Robinson is now back in the studio as a fully fledged Part 2 after completing his studies at Leeds University walking away with a well deserved distinction. Put the Brylcreem down Tim it's time to do some real work.

Sheffield's Owler Brook School opens new extension

The staff, parents, governors, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and David Blunkett MP this week  joined with representatives from the design and construction teams to mark the opening of Owler Brook Primary School's new facilities. The  entire  School was designed by Rock Townsend as part of the Sheffield PFI scheme, scheme completed in 2001. The  recent works delivered a standalone extension to house 60 pupils in the Nursery and Reception class. The design overcame the challenges  of the sloping site and requirements for increased external play space by delivering the new Playdeck - balconied external playspace floating in the canopy of the site's trees.
