Hi friends, The second school term has already started. We have many exciting things planned. We will be launching our Assembly Problem Series for schools around the world. More info can be found below. We will now be approaching a number of new schools so keep your eyes peeled for some exciting announcements. Our latest cycle of online classes will commence on Wednesday - see below for more information. I have enjoyed 2 visits to George to run Maths teacher workshops and I have several more of these planned throughout the year. We are buys speaking to an astronaut to bring her out to South Africa. We will post announcements when we have secured this awesome astronaut. If you are fascinated with Mars and looking to win some money then check out the Mars Challenge below. Are you looking for private lessons for your child from grade 4-12? We have the solution for you! See Dottutoring.com info below. Recently I have been teaching classes in the USA, Brazil, India and Zambia - It has been such a fun opportunity to connect with global teacher colleagues. We have run a few Chrity Quiz evenings and Bingo evenings which have been such fun and over the next week or two I will begin with the process of setting the Living Maths Olympiad papers. In addition to this, I will also be running the Kangaroo Maths Competition in Ireland in the next month or so. Term 2 is certainly going to be busy.

Junior Maths journalists A student that I taught in the USA for our online classes sent me a special request: James (who is 12) has started a math newsletter ( <http://www.realdealmath.org/> www.realdealmath.org) and he is looking for kids to write for the newsletter. The aim of the newsletter is to produce a publication that is written by kids, for kids. If you happened to know of anyone you could share the newsletter with (and especially any kids who might be writers for the next issue), we would be most appreciative. So if you are a fan of maths, love the idea of writing articles for an international project and would love to be noticed for one of your many skills then send us an email and we will forward it on to James.
