At the end of May, 6 of our primary students took part in the SuperTmatik Mental Maths quiz. These games are of great interest to students because they bring together mental motivation and the entertainment of traditional board games. They aim to encourage interest in learning, contribute to acquiring knowledge, reinforcement and development of skills. These children were selected from across Year 5 and 6 and performed in the online final, to find out the winners at international level, in each age group.
In addition, on June 11th, 5 students competed in another round of UKMT Math challenges, the Junior Kangaroo, a follow on round to the Junor Maths Challenge which students only qualify for based on their Junior Maths Challenge score. We are happy to report that Marci (Y6B) and Nuala (Y5C) will be awarded a merit, which is given to the top 25% of participants. On the same date, Lalo (Y6L) also competed in the UKMT Junior Maths Olympiad, an invite only follow on round to the Junior Maths challange which around 1,200 students qualify for each year.
Well done to all our primary mathematicians and we look forward to entering even more students in the upcoming years!

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
