Room 9/10's Amazing Geography Projects

The projects submitted as the finale of our geography this term has blown both Sharon and I away. The individual efforts, the parent involvement and the knowledge demonstrated has definitely proven to us that environments we live in absolutely shape the way we live.
Thank you to every one for their help and promotion at home of such a positive learning experience this term.

Our First Project

Henry brought his project in early today because he is unable to be here on Monday. He explained why he had created water tanks, solar panels and a windmill. Henry also explained the materials he used and the difficulties he experienced on his journey from design to completion.

I Don't Need a Paper Newsletter

After a conversation with several parents on Tuesday I thought it would be good to give all parents the opportunity to start saving paper and money at Ardtornish.

If you no longer require a paper version of the school newsletter could you please indicate by responding on the Ardtornish+ post today.

Simply comment on the post with:

No longer required

(I will comment on there as an example)

We were not expecting to begin this process this year. I am however very pleased and am happy to begin reducing the time spent on printing and distribution.

If you don't have the Ardtornish+ community please let me know.

Cheers Steve

Well done Jane Moore on organising a super session!
