The last week of term was packed with a lot of presentations, competitions and celebrations.
On Wednesday Rod Ritchie gave up some of his holiday time to come and work with R10 and 11. Rod, Jamie's dad, is here on holiday and he was only too happy to come and wrap up our narrative unit and inspire our budding author's to write one last piece. The prizes are some of his books from the Warriors series. We will return to those stories after the holidays and polish them for the competition.
On Thursday a team of four students: Stella, Zak, Tait and Cailin, represented us at the annual Motec BP Technology Challenge and came away with first prize - and a fantastic microscope! Well done team.
Friday was the best day. We had non stop performances, presentations and shows as we savoured the different flavours of the Popcorn Programme. Creativity and imagination were to the fore as we watched puppet shows, learnt about building useful things out of recycled wood and other building materials, imagined the new garden boxes overflowing with fruit and vegetables, oohed and aahed over the biographical paintings, listened to the environmental messages brought to us by the video group, watched the creativity groups interpretation of metamorphosis and marvelled at the artistic designs of the wearable arts garments.
Check out the short video clip below for images of our great week. (Unfortunately I don't have photos from the Technology Challenge yet.)
