Today you watched a D.A.R.E. video about the dangers of drug use and how it affects your brain.
Your whole world deepends on your brain function so you better look after it - especially when you're young and your brain is developing. Choices you make now will potentially affect you for the rest of your life.

Another interesting thing that has happened in Room 5 in the last week has been the challenge laid down about memorising Pi. Remember Mr Jones said you couldn't remember more than 7 digits in a sequence? Well, several of you [including "Awesomo4000" and "Fred"] have memorised it and recited it to me accurately in excess of 50 and even a 100 digits - WOW!!!

Tell me how many you can remember and try to explain clearly how you do it. I am very interested in how you use your clever brains.
Also, does anyone know what Pi is useful for?
In relation to your learning, memory and intelligence, check out the word study list for this week - it has terms on it like "Synaptic Plasticity". Any idea what that might be? Some researchers tell us that brain synapses are where intelligence lives...
What is photographic memory? Do you have one? What is the other name for it?
