A number of students who attend the weekly 'CoderDojo@Lunch' session in the computer lab, entered Google's Call to Code competition on Wednesday, 25th November. 1st Year student Eva Corrigan gives her thoughts on the competition.
On November 25th Stratford entered Google's second ever coding competition Call To Code. It is where 13-18 year olds can compete for a prize by doing coding games. I've only been doing coding for three months so I wasn't very good but it was very difficult and for one of the sections there was just a one second time limit! I only completed three sections but I will practice and hopefully get more done next year.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.

The tutor-time daily quiz is proving to be extremely competitive as each form group tries to solve it and then run to find Ms Matthews in order to win the box of chocolates!
