Our robotics club is up and running on a Friday with Mr Dudin.  The group is starting with spheros – coding them to navigate a room full of furniture using ipads.  The challenges are going to increase as the weeks progress.  We also have a lego robot that the students are looking forward to being able to program!

One of the many classes that use our space is skills lessons.  Skill lessons are designed to increase our students’ knowledge and ability in the base areas of reading and writing, but also tackle other important skills on a needs basis - such as those related to critical and creative thinking, technology, and research. Today, Mrs Rohan brought her Year 8’s in, and as you can see from the pictures below, they enjoyed four different activities focusing on different skills.

Our discussion board for this term focuses on ‘Life is a Team Sport’.  We asked the students who is on your team and how do they help you? There are some lovely responses including friends, family and God!
