DOJO CHALLENGE THIS WEEK!
We were inundated with entries to our very popular Life Thru a Lens photo challenge as Primary students snapped away to photograph images that represent New Beginnings. I was impressed with the range of interpretations to this theme and was delighted to look at all the different photos showing new buds on flowers and plants, baby brothers and sisters and a multitude of sunrises, amongst other photos.
The hard task is now for the Primary teaching staff to choose the winning entries from each House in each Key Stage. Judging the entries will take place over the next week or so and we will share the exciting results with you all soon!
However, our congratulations go to the Gaya Pangolins who are our overall Dojo Challenge champions this week with the most challenge entries for their House!
Now it’s time to find out what challenges you can involve yourself in this week.
The Monthly Maths Challenge will return next week with a new challenge for October. Be sure to check out the challenges we will share next Friday for your year groups!
The Fun Challenge this week is another creative challenge where you can create your House mascot in a fun, unique and imaginative way. Will you be able to make a Lego build of your Mascot? How about making your mascot extra tasty by creating their image as a snack or cake or cookie? Could you create an amazing painting or sketch of your mascot? There are so many ways to create your mascots and we look forward to seeing what amazing, imaginative creations you will produce! Good luck everyone!
