Well done to all of those who took part.

Fantastic to see such a huge turnout for dissection club this week. Perhaps the frogs saw it differently...

The #STEMResidency festivities continued on Friday with a guest appearance from none other than entertainer and mathematician Johnny Ball. Johnny entranced the audience with a compelling talk on how maths is interwoven into all aspects of life.

It is our final day tomorrow, so we are going to go out with a bang (or in Ms. Eaves's case, possibly an electric shock).

We are back with a bang on Thursday and the news gets even better.

Mr. Reynolds will be hosting the annual element symbol memory quiz in the MC auditorium from 12:15pm. Surely no one knows more symbols than him? Surely?
