A lovely piece of news today about 'Poetry By Heart' successes.
Zuzana Kristlova has been awarded the position of 'Runner-up' in the regional section of the competition and Lucy Taylor 'Commended' in the same Cumbrian heat.
For those of you who saw the in-school competition, you will remember how wonderfully these two girls recited their two poems.
A huge thank you to Mrs Parry for inspiring our students through Poetry by Heart.
Thanks to Miss Nunes for this week’s Duolingo Podium. We’ve noticed an increase in points recently; always great to have a bit of healthy competition. 🏆

🧮 This weeks puzzle:
A room contains a group of minions. Each minion has either one eye or two eyes. In the room there are three times as many minions with two eyes as there are with one eye. In total there are 329 eyes in the room. How many minions in the room have two eyes?
Answer to last week’s puzzle: 2000. Rather than working it out as it initially looks you can group together all the 19’s and 81’s to make 20 x 81 + 20 x19. Because you have 20 of each number you can change this to 20 x 100 = 2000.
Samuel Taylor – a very impressive time, well done!
