Minister of Education from Cayman Islands visits Stepping Stones
The Minister of Education, Hon Alden McNee McLaughlin Jr, his key advisors and aids together with a Headteacher visited Stepping Stones school this morning.
They are on tour of UK schools and learning spaces in the UK. We were very fortunate to have them visit the school and take lots of interest in the pupils work and the design of the learning spaces.
During their visit to Stepping Stones, they listened and watched the pupils demonstrate some of the wonderfully creative work they have been doing, using applications such as SketchUp, iMovie, Comic Life, website technologies and their own personal blog sites.
Stephen Heppell, who inspired the group to visit the UK, also wanted them to have a dialogue with Sheree Vertigan in Tasmania and also Peter Cowley who teaches at the Ingenium Classroom Project in Richmond, London. Hopefully the team have gone away full of inspiration and ideas for how to build future schools and learning environments on the Cayman Islands. I have suggested to them, that schools in the Cayman Islands and Stepping Stones should work together, sharing the creative possibilities and delight that technology and learning brings to children.

Photographs of the 2006 Access National Sailing Championships
The 2006 Access National Sailing Championships, held at Frensham Ponds near Farnham was an enormous success for everyone who took part.
The sailors experienced a variety of weather conditions throughout the weekend, with the strong gusts which was most apparent on Saturday, though there were occasional blowy moments on the Sunday as well. Saturday started and ended an overcast, showery day, yet on Sunday, the weather broke ending the championships with blue sky and sunshine.
Here are the photographs taken from the two day sailing event.

Dom supports the 2006 Access National Championships at Frensham Ponds
Today was Day 1 of the 2006 Access National Championships held at Frensham Ponds, nr Farnham, Surrey.
One of the pupils at the school, Dom, supported the event by taking some of the photographs, organising all of them and presenting them in the clubhouse using iPhoto application. The first day of racing was a wet and gusty day, with many of the competitors struggling to control their boats as they sailed around the course. The sailors weren't the only people struggling, as our camera shots were difficult to take in the drizzly rain.
Photographs of the event have been made available online for the competitors to access when they return home on Sunday evening.
