= Mini Olympic Challenge = ==Thank you to those who have put in the effort to research and create an effective mini inquiry around the Olympic Games. As you can see above I have uploaded 2 examples of the work received. Also on Hannah's page you can see her effort. Over the next couple of weeks I am also looking forward to see those who are performing their mini challenge to the class.==

==Melanie led a discussion on drugs in sport the other day. With Val's upgrade to Gold due to drugs this was a timely led discussion. Melanie came prepared with open questions and with a little support from me, led the class on a very interesting discussion. Excellent work Melanie.==
