Rotary Quiz
On Thursday, we had a mini quiz to see who would compete in the real one the next day. There was eight categories and 10 questions in each. I was really nervous because I wanted to do well. After a while everyone had to count up their scores and see who would be the 4 people competing. James, Charlotte and Angus all had the same score which was 46 and Summer and I came joint with a score of 40. So Summer and I had to have a decider question. Excitedly, I won and got into the team!!
The next again afternoon, we were waiting nervously sanding outside the Assembly Hall. We went in and sat at our school table. Our mums and dads were there to cheer us on! Then the other schools came (Bowhouse and Beancross) and it was really pressurising because Bowhouse had won 2 years in a row. There was the same amount of questions of the previous quiz. We had given our final answers to the judges and we were waiting patiently. Then they announced the winners, Bowhouse 3rd…… Beancross 2nd…… AND MORAY CAME 1ST!!| It was so fun to take part in! We got given a trophy and certificates each.
Maths games.
On Monday it was Platinum groups turn to have a go at making maths games. Our theme was percentages which was quite difficult to think of an idea for a game that people from all the groups could take part in, as not everyone has learned about percentages. It was really good too see the other ideas people had came up with and they were all quite different. My idea was a bit of a board game idea, where you had to find the percentage of the fraction that was shown. I think I made it quite difficult because some of the groups had to use calculators but other than that I think everyone enjoyed it. Here is a picture of the games.
Constellations
On Monday we also learned about constellations. It was really interesting and we made our own! My constellation was my dog. I made it him because I couldn’t live without him!
