We celebrated Earth day at Orchard Park with a Fun Friday lunchtime Sporcle challenge, led by Miss Coupland. Students worked together in the theatre to name as many countries in the world as possible, with Mr Vasey keeping count of every character point awarded for each country named! The collaboration was fantastic, with an impressive 130 countries identified.

Students also received Earth Day stickers to promote awareness of environmental responsibility across the school.

Our weekly Maths Club is where students go head-to-head with teachers.

Our students and Mr Baksh ended in a draw this week. What will happen next week?
