Harry Potter Orienteering Race
On Monday the 20th, we did an orienteering race. For that we had to be in teams of two in our Harry Potter Houses. The Objective was to find fourteen bags with a peice of a long sentence about Albus Dumbledore. At the end we had to find the complete sentence to win a prize (Reese's Chocolates yum yum!). My team, Ravenclaw arrived second for the sentence and third for the orienteering race. Mr Grout made the race and John and Mrs Gayet went to see us. the race was exhausting but very good!
Marion Delafontaine
On Monday I had an orienteering race on the theme of Harry Potter. My partner was Mathéo. There were 14 bags to find, we started after 4 minutes and we finished after 33.11 minutes. I think the bags were difficult to find. I had a great time because we learned 'team spirit'.

Hot off the Press with the 2nde Euro
After studying a Google Good News page about spoof stories with Mrs Pruvost, the 2nde Euro class went to the press room. In small groups they were given one hour to produce the front page of an online newspaper. There was one Editor in each group who was responsible for the content and the page layout. The other team members acted as journalists to produce spoof headlines for the frontpage. The deadline was met succesfully and the front pages were emailed and printed........here is the fruit of their labour.
