Mr Maposa and the Mathematics department have started implementing the use of Numeracy Ninjas for Years 7, 8 and 9 during form time.
This numeracy intervention is designed to fill gaps in students’ basic mental calculation strategies and to empower them with the numeracy skills and fluency required to fully access IGCSE Maths concepts when they move to Key Stage 4 study.
The booklet consists of 3 parts that students need to complete in 5 minutes. The sections consist of mental strategies, multiplication tables and key skills.
We are hoping to see students compete and improve their scores from one week to the next! Go Ninjas

Project coordinator Mai Alqaisi runs a programme for Caritas Jersulem that protects and supports olive farmers in Mahrour in the West Bank.

While the eyes of the world are on Gaza, also in the West Bank the crisis is growing by the day.
The staff and volunteers of Cordaid partner Caritas Jerusalem do all they can to support the affected population.
Cordaid CEO Heleen van den Berg visited project locations in Bethlehem and Ramallah on the West Bank, where life got much harder after the escalation of the conflict. She spoke to mothers, farmers and humanitarian workers.
Five your old Ansam (5), visits a centre for children with disabilities in the Al Aroub refugee camp. ‘She has a speech impediment and cannot write very well either,' her mother says. 'Here at the centre, they give her the help I cannot give. Moreover, here she learns to play with other children. And I learn what I can do at home to help her progress.’
‘For children, life here in the camp is incredibly hard,' she continues. 'They are locked up. Just going out, to a park or something, that's just not possible. Even if I want to buy something special once in a while to make my children happy, it's just not possible. It's too dangerous. Children get shot dead too. It's too dangerous for me too. What if I die? Who will take care of my children then?’
‘Since October last year, it has only become harder. You can see it in the children too. There is so much frustration and anger in them. I try to reassure and soothe them. But I understand them all too well. I do everything I can to stay upright myself.’
Maj Al Qaisi works for Caritas Jerusalem. She coordinates a project providing socio-economic support to farmers in the West Bank.
‘To survive here as an olive farmer, you have to be very strong,’ she says. 'Roads to their orchards and farmlands are blocked by the army. They are denied access to water sources and to the electricity grid. And those who don't cultivate their land are in danger of losing it quickly.’
‘We help them fence their land, build terraces, buy water tanks. We teach them ecological farming too. Those who face human rights violations can get legal support through us.’
‘Last year, no one was allowed to harvest olives and apricots. The army banned it. However, this is the main source of income for farming families here.’
‘However, the farmers persevere and we support them in their persistence. 10% of the investments we make in their businesses, they have to contribute themselves. Since the war, most can't manage to do that. So we've reduced their contribution. When possible, their family and friends help out financially. We do everything to ensure that the farmers stay afloat.’
Daoud Sabieh is an olive farmer in Mahrour, in the West Bank, near the separation barrier.
‘Because the army so often stops us on the way to our olive grove,' he says, 'we now often work late in the evening and at night. Then there are fewer soldiers and we are also harder to see. We need to stay creative and resourceful.’
