Potato Olympics

As you may have heard, we have had a very successful day of Potato Olympics last Wednesday. We were blessed with beautiful weather, helpful parents and athletic potatoes. We will be using the data we collected in follow-up maths workshops next week. The focus of these will be reading, recording and ordering numbers up to three digits, measurements in centimetres and metres, and counting and adding numbers up to and beyond two digits.

A HUGE thank you to all the parents and siblings who turned up on the day to help with the smooth running of the event.

Here are some photos of students leading up to and during the eventful day.

Maths Home Learning

We have put together a new page to support parents with our children's home learning for mathematics. You can access this by clicking the Maths Home Learning tab above or click on this link here.

Potato Olympics Flag Designs

As part of the Potato Olympics preparations, the children have been designing flags.  The children were asked to design 4 flags and to chose their favourite.  The final flag designs by the children are hanging in the Torus (close to Room 14).  Please come along and have a look.

Potato Olympics- Helpers needed!

Over the last week we have been using a lot of our maths skills to gather statistics on our potatoes in the lead up to The Potato Olympics which will be held next Wednesday 11th (between 9 and 12).  If you are available, we would love to have some support from parents to officiate (measure and record) for this prestigious event. It promises to be quite entertaining and will involve the use of plenty more maths.
Please leave your name with Tomo or Tony if you can help.
