Mathletics Challenge

This week, Room 11 has launched the Mathletics challenge again, because we want to become first in the world. Our goal is to get 250,000 at least for the whole class.

Jack is busy organising a roster for our class so everybody can have a turn and get the class points, as well as scoring their minimum weekly 1,000 points. He was assigned this task, because he had successfully organised our last challenge!

Room 11's Mathletics goals:

This week Room 11's goal in Mathletics is to get at least 50,000 points and to beat Mrs Kendall's class, R18, the Year 8's! and so far, we are easily beating Room 18!

Jack made a roster for the class for Mathletics so that everybody can get 1,000 points and get a certificate. He is usually the best Mathlete in the class, so he is perfect for leading the class in achieving our goals for Mathletics this week.

Right now, we are coming 8th in New Zealand, but have no placing in the world rankings just yet. Jayden is 2nd in New Zealand, Niwa is 23rd, Ben is 25th, Abbi is 40th, Samsara is 53rd and Natasha is 59th.

Go Room 11!

Awhitu's 2km run:

At 10.15am Samsara, Jack and Jayden walked down to the hall, ready for the 2km race for cross-country in Awhitu. They hopped in seperate cars and soon arrived at our destination. They had roundabout half an hour to check our route, warm up and have a little something to eat.
Then a lady gave a humungous speech about the route and how there was going to be marshalls so we wouldn't get lost.
The third race was Samsara and Jayden in the Year 6 girls. Jayden came 9th and Samsara came 17th, that means Jayden is a reserve for Zone Day. The fourth race was Jack's, the Year 6 boys. Jack came 15th, and he felt really good because it was the first time he had been to Group Day.
They felt very proud of themselves, because they got very good placings, because they raced against 5o other children of their age.

100%ers in Five Minute Frenzy Multiplication:

This week's timestable frenzy was easier because there was 1X tables and sometimes 2X tables. Room 11 is getting better because they are getting used to the format and layout. Ben, Jamie, Abbi and Sharon are practising them at home.
Eight people scored 100% correct this morning within 5 minutes:

Congratulations!

After 4 days of Five Frenzy addition grids, 10 people in Room 11 scored a whopping 100%!

Master Mathlete:

He is our reigning Mathletics Champion! We are very proud of him!

Chemical Reactions Rock!

Yesterday morning my science group and I found out that we were awarded 3rd equal in the school's science fair. We felt really great about it, because we stuffed up our entry and then we fixed it all up and then it looked much better.
Our question was does the colour of hair affect the amount of static electricity that it can hold, and we concluded that yes it does - darker coloured hair can hold more static electricity than lighter coloured hair.
Aidan and Jamie attended the science fair prize giving last night and were presented with a certificate - they felt very proud!

Sullivan's Champions!

Today we went to the Sullivan's Tournament at View Road School in Waiuku. Sullivan's is an inter-school competition for Uni-Hoc and soccer.
We versed Aka Aka, Otaua, View Road 1 and 2, and Waiuku 2 in soccer. Our team won every single game we played, therefore, we assume we won the tournament for soccer.
Out of all our games, the last games was awkward, because we versed our own school and there were no bibs, so we couldn't tell who was who!
