Maths Trail for Maths Week

To celebrate Maths Week on Monday Room 3 and Room 4 joined forces to complete a maths trail. We had a blast finding the answers around the school to the problems that clever Miss Campbell wrote for us! 

Some of the questions we had a answer were:

• Which classroom is closer to the flagpole? Room 3 or Room 5?
• How many number sentences can you make out of Mrs Lynch's number plate?
• Who has more windows for Mr Martin to wash? The senior team or the junior team?

Check out some of the photos from our maths trail below!

In Room 3 we think that our New Zealand Olympians are epic and we are very proud! GO TEAM NZ!!

Olympics: London 2012

In the lead up to and during the 30th Olympic Games in London, Room 3 will be learning about everything Olympics!

Key ideas for us will be about:

• the history and importance of the Olympic Games
• how to support and encourage our New Olympians
• about persistence, motivation, passion and achievement
• about great New Zealand sports people and role models

Before we get back to school and get stuck into our learning, I have a little thinking challenge for you all...

What sports do you know of that are in the Olympics?

Post all your ideas as a comment below, but make sure you read the other comments and post something new!

Lets see how many sports we can think of!
