Year 8 have a puzzling day!

On Wednesday 14 December, the whole of Year 8 were treated to a
fun day of puzzle solving with the Happy Puzzle Company.

Developed by Psychologist of Education, Gavin Ucko, the programme uses large 3D puzzles and challenges, which are solved by students in teams. They all look incredibly easy… until the students start trying to solve them! Their task then becomes one of turning the apparently impossible into the possible. As they do so, each student will improve their thinking skills and team skills, whilst boosting their confidence in the process and raising their expectations of what they can achieve in the classroom.

Our students really enjoyed the challenges and all worked extremely well together in their teams.
