We had a brilliant bit of brain-training in the classroom with this lively challenge! Students took on the β€˜Smarter Than a Chimpanzee?’ game, a proper test of their working memory and concentration. 

They had to recall the correct sequence of numbers that flashed up on the board for just a split second. It was simply smashing to see them tackle the game with such great spirit and determination. Some of them displayed some truly impressive recall skills, navigating the levels with superb accuracy. 

What a wonderfully energetic way to sharpen our minds and have a good laugh together. Hats off to everyone for their fantastic efforts!

Who says learning geography can’t be an adventure? Our students have been travelling the globe from right here in the classroom. 

To master the countries of Africa, they’ve been using a brilliant creative tool: mnemonic stories. Our students came up with wonderfully imaginative tales, featuring everything from pizza-eating dragons on skateboards to magicians on the moon! Each quirky element of the story acts as a clever prompt, turning a tricky memory task into a truly engaging game. 

It was fantastic to see them confidently recalling the nations and pinpointing their locations on the map. This is a splendid example of how creative strategies make learning both effective and unforgettable.
