Key Stage 3 Inter House<br />
Basketball Tournament<br />
The Key Stage 3 Inter-House<br />
Basketball Tournament got off to a<br />
great start with students from each<br />
House showing good standard of skill<br />
Edited by: Mr. C. Marchand - Head of Secondary<br />
and some excellent individual<br />
performances.<br />
The matches played were filled with<br />
great excitement, with all our boys<br />
and girls showing first class passes<br />
and magnificent dribbling. It was<br />
wonderful to see so many students<br />
supporting their house teams and<br />
showing great enthusiasm and<br />
enjoyment. We at <strong>Laude</strong> encourage<br />
all our pupils to participate in a wide<br />
variety of competitions where<br />
students experience team spirit and<br />
gain a sense of achievement. Well<br />
done to House Earth who put up a<br />
great fight to be crowned KS3 Inter-<br />
House Basketball champions.<br />

LAUDE´S GARDENS<br />
This month in Natural Sciences in ESO<br />
2, we have studied the structure of<br />
Ecosystems. We have identified its<br />
components and understood some of<br />
the relationships that exist between<br />
its inhabitants. We´ve also learned to<br />
classify living things according to their<br />
roles. The use of graphics and<br />
statistics have helped us to realise<br />
that between the different levels of<br />
living things there exist more links<br />
than we could think of at first. To<br />
understand this a little bit better, we<br />
decided to visit our nearest<br />
ecosystem, <strong>Laude</strong>’s gardens. We<br />
planned to make observations and<br />
take notes to create atrophic<br />
pyramids and networks. These tools<br />
would show us the various species<br />
that live beyond the windows of our<br />
classrooms, and the inhabitants’<br />
proportion in each atrophic level.<br />
What we have found is that in our<br />
little ecosystem there is a great<br />
biodiversity, well maintained by our<br />
gardener Miguel, where we can find<br />
ornamental producers like the<br />
Pitosporo from China or the Tropical<br />
Lantana; or representatives of our<br />
Mediterranean forest, like the Oak,<br />
Cork Oak and Wild Olive trees; there<br />
are also consumers, like the Asian<br />
palm weevil; birds such as Gulls,<br />
Finches or Greenfinches (Embernagra<br />
platensis); reptiles like Lizards or<br />
mammals such as small moles<br />
(Arvicolinae) and Cats. The widest<br />
level of the trophic pyramid of<br />
numbers belongs to the group of<br />
producers (plants), followed by<br />
primary consumers (insects, mollusks,<br />
moles, birds…), secondary consumers<br />
(Lizards, Ladybirds, birds…) and<br />
tertiary consumers (Cats, European<br />
mantis, Gulls…), in this order.<br />
Congratulations, guys, for your<br />
successful expedition.
