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.
