Bit of Gardening

We braved the freezing cold this morning to help Pat with a bit of gardening!
Earth is turned and the rocks are gone. Next step is to plant something there! Although we won't be in the prefabs for too much longer to watch them grow!!

Maths Workshop

Today the Lifetime Lab paid us a visit for a Maths workshop. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all and some became engrossed in a challenge and refused to move from it until they had it mastered- which they did manage, so well done to them!
There were many hands on activities that helped to develop logic and reasoning skills and spatial awareness along with many other mathematical strategies. It was fun to do Maths in such a creative way as I think we have all had our fill of Entrance Exams!
Thank you Lifetime Lab!We really enjoyed it!

Debating

Last Friday we had our first debate of the year. The topic of the debate was 'IPads should replace books in school.' Both sides of the debate were very well represented, with excellent arguments on both sides. The crossfire round was particularly impressive. Well done!
