UK Beaver Computational Thinking Challenge 2015

Well done to all our S2 BECS pupils and S3 to S6 Computing Science pupils who took part in the Beaver Challenge last week!

The Beaver Challenge is a competition aimed at raising awareness of Computer Science in a fun and rewarding way. The competition involves solving problems using computational thinking skills.

Computational thinking involves using a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs and apps. Examples of these techniques would include the ability to break down complex tasks into simpler components, algorithm design, pattern recognition, pattern generalisation and abstraction.

This year over 50,000 students in the UK and Europe took part in the competition – results should be available in approximately 10 days.

Non-Uniform Day

Children and young people who were eligible last year – for either a travel pass or a space on the dedicated school bus – will once again be offered this transport service.

For new P1 and S1 pupils now eligible, and who have confirmed with the school office as requested, they will now be given a travel pass or a space on the school bus.

Dedicated school buses will resume first thing on Monday 2 November following the same timetable and previous arrangements as before the summer holidays.

Bus and rail travel passes will be available for collection at the school office on Monday 2 November for your child to pick up and then use from Monday onwards.

Parents whose children and young people have access to the dedicated school bus cannot choose to opt for a travel pass and vice versa.
