The year eight students took the mic and flipped our classroom into a talk show studio. This was a student-led interview whereby they gathered ideas and knowledge that are already embedded in their reading of the play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'by Shakespeare to showcase a deeper understanding of the events in the play by developing their empathy and perspective-taking skills. The students took on roles as characters in the play and formed some interview questions for the said characters. They then prepared the answers to the questions and invited their co-class to take part as the audience. This saw the emergence of critical thinking as their responses were well thought out in terms of how their character would respond to the various questions. This also promoted the learners' communication skills through their effective verbal communication.

The interactive session built the students' confidence as it allowed them to express their creativity by interpreting characters in unique ways and responding to questions with imaginative and original answers. Everything was made possible by the collaboration and interactions the students maintained to create such a vibrant, cohesive,cohesive and engaging scene. The afternoon was fun-filled, exciting, and, most importantly, filled with robust conversations.

Year 9 students have been working on mensuration in mathematics this week. They have been using a trundle wheel to measure the dimensions of the school basketball court and calculating the perimeter and area of the court. They also used their measurements to calculate the circumference and area of the centre circle and the shooting 'D'. They performed experiments to discover the value of the mathematical constant PI, which is used to solve circle problems.
