Manners Matter

Manners are one of the most important things we need to have in life. As well as following the Grey Main Way, we need to remember that Manners Matter. This week in Totara 2, we are really focusing on using our manners. It is really important that we use our manners towards all adults in the school as well as each other.

Potato Planting

Spring has sprung! Yesterday afternoon we went out to the garden with Mr B and he showed us how to plant potatoes so the Year 8's can eat them at their Year 8 leavers dinner. We found it really interesting learning about how potatoes go to seed and how the grow off each other. We decided that they might need a helping hand so we sprinkled potato fertiliser on them too (but don't tell Kevin!) We are going to keep an eye on them and our next project is planting corn into pots and letting it grow in the greenhouses until we can plant them in our very own corn patch. 

We have also decided that a part of the garden needs a really good tidy so we are going to do that too! Watch this space!

Maths Week

Last week was Maths Week and at Grey Main we had a number of activities that were organised and run by Miss Power. We really enjoyed completing these activities and in particular the West-a-maths competition that we had on Friday. We were randomly split into teams of 3 or 4 and as teams we had to solve maths problems. In order for us to get to the next questions we had to answer the question correctly or we could pass on the question. Congratulations to the winning team who scored 100 points in under 30 minutes. (100 points means they got all of the questions correct and didn't pass a question)!
