This week, in Stratford College, Transition Year students have been helping to creatively celebrate Maths Week. To kick the week off, some of the TYs ran an obstacle course during PE classes for 1st and 2nd Years, involving maths questions at different parts of the course.
Thank you to Ms. Finnegan for letting us do this in her lessons. Then, on Friday, TYs also organised an event in the hall involving numerical versions of different board games such as Monopoly, Uno and chess as well as a maths karaoke. Everyone involved enjoyed it immensely and the TYs loved being able to organise it.
Our Transition Year (TY) students hosted a successful coffee morning in the school hall to raise funds for Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services in Harold's Cross. Year groups visited the hall in turn for tea, coffee, and treats. Thanks to Ms. Maxwell, Ms. Talbot, Ms. McGill and all our TY students.
