Pi day is amazing
On Tuesday, March 14 pupils and staff in the school celebrated Pi day. Pi jokes were added to the daily bulletin, the maths teachers wore a variety of Pi related clothing, Pi quizzes and colouring sheets were available from the library and Pi facts were added to the school Twitter feed.
S1 pupils all worked together in the Kamwokya room to create a colour coded paper chain that displayed the first 1000 digits of Pi. S2 had double fun, writing Pilish poems in English, where they had to use the digits of Pi as the word lengths in the poem.
They then arrived at maths and made Pi Skylines, representing the digits visually as buildings. At lunchtime pupils could take part in a Pi recital. A closely-fought battle between an S2 boy and an S4 girl who both recited over 80 digits was ended by an amzing S1 girl who recited 109 digits from memory. Mr Drummond presented the winning pupil with a trophy and a Pi cookie.
The S2 winner of the Pilish poetry also recieved a cookie as a prize. pupils performed well and managed to battle through some tough weather conditions. In the S1 girls race Cavan Ryan finished strongly to take fourth place overall. Abigail Freel finished in 18th and Lauren Mullen Pentney crossed the line in 81st place. Anton Scott did a great job representing the school in the S1 boys race, finishing in 52nd place overall. In the S3 girls race Rachel Donnelly ran a fantastic race and came home in first place!
