Week 5 in Room 11

Another week has gone by since the last posting. There is always so much going on that it is hard to know where to begin but...
Here's a peek at some homework I enjoyed marking this week:

Ellie's Homework

There are many others who are putting both the time and effort into these tasks and I enjoyed looking at the goals that many wanted to achieve.

Our Maths focus so far has been on Statistics. Mid way through the week we had a look back on all the things we felt we had either learnt or revisited and remembered more clearly. Here's a photo of some of the board:

Excuse the handwriting - lots of ideas coming from the class!

 It was so great that every student could add their ideas.
Students from the 2013 Maths extension class and a couple of others have been looking at the nzmaths website and have been doing their own independent investigations:

Room 11 students were involved in the HNI Triathlon on Wednesday. We had a boys' team of Tom R (swim leg), Jacob M (run leg) and Henry W (cycle leg) who went really well to achieve a third. Livy completed the swim leg for the girls' team - along with two others from Room 9 and they came second! After all that exercise you need refuelling ....

Tom and Jacob - recovery mode!

I asked the class to pose for a class photo this morning. There was a bit of complaining because it was right on the morning tea break. As you can see they weren't very enthusiastic!! Maybe next time they will smile a wee bit more.

 And to end this week in a really great way: Congratulations Eli on achieving your Honour's

Badge!!
