We had a special afternoon yesterday when we had a "National Park Planning Authority" meeting. All the desks were moved ready to create a large square ready for the meeting and everyone received papers. The debate/discussion was about the request from the owners of a hotel to build a lake-side water sports centre. Some people were the hoteliers and they had to speak about their plans. Other people were local sheep farmers, shopkeepers and residents who spoke about their objections and other opinions, while some of us were the representatives of Activity Holidays (organisers of holidays for 16-25 year olds) or Saga Holidays (organisers of holidays for older people. We had a very good discussion and, eventually, the voting gave permission for the construction of the sports centre but decided that speed boats would not be allowed because they would create too much disturbance. Today we followed up this by beginning to produce a written discussion based on these issues.

As well as this, we had another session on the BBC revisewise site and went through the science test that we did last week and today we did some more difficult mental multiplication calculations in maths and had our Tuesday French and PSHCE before watching the Year 3 and 4 production, Jack and the Beanstalk.
