Singing mums, juggling brothers, 72 pairs of socks and an update on the long distance relationship between Boss the Boston Terrier and Victoria the Boston Terrier are just some of the highlights from today's Big BOSS Challenging Quiz!
After wanting to incorporate some of the excitement from our in-house, and ever so popular 'Ballistic Trivia' quiz, we incorporated a number of challenges into today's in a bid to get our student riled up and active, earning the right to answer those questions and win those oh so precious points in a bid to claim victory. It was exciting, it was active, it was challenging and it was fun! If you couldn't make it, please read on, and watch our video, it might make you laugh!

Takeaways from today's session
- Tomorrow, students will give a short talk similar to a "TED Talk". Their talk must be thought provoking and inspire the other students and last for a minimum of 90 seconds and a maximum of 3 minutes. Students should check out "TED Talks" on YouTube for inspiration and can either make a recording of their talk to show to their fellow students or present it live during the session.
For inspiration, check out the video below. This may also help you with Thursday's creative writing activity as it is called 'How to Write a Novel' by Nara Duffie.
- On Thursday we are sending an open invitation to our students' world of imagination, so it’s time to get those creative cogs turning. All we want is for you to be creative, to use your imagination, to put pen to paper and share your story in no more, and no less than 500 words. The best place to start is at the beginning. Even if you don’t have an idea, just start writing and you’ll be surprised how quick the ideas will come.
Students must share their 500 word stories with their fellow students as they are reading them so that they too can read along.
