Danny Macaskill

For all those who left (danced out of) the class before I showed this video, have a look. The thing I love about this is how much training, hard work and time Danny would had to put in to become one of the best in the world at what he does. It just goes to show, you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.

PTA weekly letter

Each week Sara, our class PTA rep will be sending be the weekly PTA newsletter which then will be linked to the blog. I will add it as an attachment in the 'Parents' section. You will need to have a gmail account to be able to open it because I have to up load it into google docs. as this is the only option with adding documents to the blog.

I am working with the school IT guru, Preet to find ways around this problem as I know not everyone has a gmail account.

You can find the newsletter in 'Parents' now

We have now finished all our lesson presentations on the brain. Most of you have found some great videos and I would love it if you could send me the link to the video that your group used (if you used one) so I can put it up on the blog.

Since the start of the school year we have been looking at how best we learn. Are we Visual, Audio learniners or do we learn best through actions? Here is a video that some students requested to see again.  It is  how our brain can be tricked.
