Are you a thinker?

Are you ready for the chess challenge?

We are currently training our brains in the ultimate strategy game of chess. Only the best of us will make the team to participate in the local school chess tournament in June.

Some of the strategies our chess players use to improve their game plan and give themselves a better chance of winning are:

1. Protect your king

2. Control the centre

3. Don’t give your pieces away

4. Use all of your pieces.

What’s your strategy?

On Friday the 17th of February we watched a performance. The main idea for the show was tell kids that all humans need to feel safe.

We met some interesting characters name DeeDee, Dunc, Kimbo and Kane. The messages that we got from the characters were to be yourself, be repectful towards others and stand up to bullies.
