Mathletics frenzy!

The world top 50 leader board - 6B and 5S slug it out!
The whole of the Junior department has gone maths crazy this week as students from BISAK have been competing in the Middle East Mathletics Challenge.  The children have been answering questions and accumulating points for themselves and their class.  Some fierce rivalries have been developing, particularly between Mr. Botha's 6B and Mr. Suter's 5S!  The lead has been changing frequently as the student's strive for top spot.  Who said the competitive spirit was dead?!


While not all the year 5 classes have made it onto the leader board, there are still some fine individual performances from students within Year 5 achieving some fantastic results.  The ICT lab has never been so popular, and as Mr.Whitaker, our Primary ICT teacher says, "I've never known a programme or game that has generated so much excitement."

Mathletics finishes on Sunday, so children can still play throughout the weekend.  Can a Year 5 class finish top of the BISAK pile?  Keep them at their maths...

    Parents, I have promised the children a class party if they can finish as the top class in BISAK, so keep them at their maths this weekend. I bet making them do their homework was never so easy! Don't tell Mr. Botha though...
