On Monday the Year 5 and 6 children worked in the hall with Miss McDonald, Mr Shea and I. The children learnt some new information about our upcoming camp and also about the entertaining camp concert. The children brainstormed a few ideas and then practised with their groups. They will get together again before camp to ensure they put on any finishing touches. So far, the performances look spectacular.
Also in the hall, the children experienced a form of CantaMaths Problem Solving which Mr Shea organised. The children were divided in to groups of 4 and had to solve arrange of mathematical problems. Each group has 15 questions, in which they get 1 at a time. If they can not answer the question they can pass. Each group has 2 passes. The competition in Room 3 was very close with 2 groups tied for 1st and 2 groups tied for 2nd. A key component to success in CantaMaths is teamwork and listening.
On Tuesday, we moved into our new classroom. Although we will have another picture with our TENT. Here is a view if you have not already seen it.
