YMCA Training inspire - develop - transform  News

YMCA Training Dover students learn maths the green-fingered way!

Students on the Foundation Learning programme at YMCA Training Dover are taking advantage of the good weather by running a 'tomato competition'.

The open-plan training centre provides good natural light, and the learners are making the most of these ideal conditions to produce some home grown tomatoes.

The first stage of the competition - for the first plant to reach 15 centimetres -was comfortably won by Marc. Now the potting on of the young plants has been completed, the race is on for the heaviest tomato!

Everyone is looking forward to harvesting their produce as the season moves on. The weight will naturally involve the practical use of grams and, hopefully, kilograms!

Marc said he was confident that he would go on to produce the biggest tomato.  

The accurate use of measurements (millilitres and kilograms) in Dover has also produced great results in bread making, as demonstrated by Caine, who was seriously proud of his loaf!
