A Rubbish Day Out!

Report by Polly Judd - Year 8

O n Monday 21st of March, the members of the Marine Awareness Group travelled to the Eden Project. Many different schools, both primary and secondary, came to try and win £500 in order to fund their projects based around a question: What can we do to help create and maintain a litter free community? This was supported by the group "Be The Change".

Our ideas were to replace all the rolls down? Well this bin is mistakes. Even the audience polystyrene boxes in the school designed like that!) participation went brilliantly too! with cardboard boxes or another reusable container and to stop That morning the Marine After a snack, our group took part selling bottled water in the Awareness Group set off on the in the "Trasher Hunt" where we canteen.

However, we were congratulated for our well researched, well-rehearsed and realistic pitch. At last, we returned to school.

We will still continue to try and carry out our plans for a litter free community even without the money. If anyone likes the idea of making a change then go to Miss Robertson in room 201 and she'll be happy to tell you when the next meeting is!

Grey and Pink Kangaroos

4 of our finest mathematicians sat their Kangaroo papers last week. These are incredibly hard maths tests which you qualify for by attaining a very high score in the Intermediate Maths Challenge. The paper consists of 25 multiple choice questions which the students have an hour to complete. Although this may not sound too taxing, UKMT say that it is almost impossible to complete all 25, so students have to choose the questions which are most likely to earn them a high score.

We await the results but qualifying in itself is a huge achievement so very well done to Cathy, Eloise, Tom and Harry!
