The HARDEST challenge of my Life!

The HARDEST

challenge of my Life!

Wednesday, 24th August 2016.

Today was the day of the competition; we had practice at break times, made exhibition art, and had a lot of fun.

A week before Cantamath, our classes had a task of making exhibitions for the competition. My group; Bella P, Bella N, Prudence and I decided to make a banner. It took about a week and a half to complete it (and got paint everywhere in the process!).

The banner is for supporting your school at the teams’ competition. It must be no larger than 5m x 2m. The banner can be hung from the top section of the stands at the East end of the arena - but must not interfere with the running of the team competition below.

There are two prizes in this section:

• Best Visual Appeal - as judged by the Cantamath committee
• Best Supporting Crowd - judged on the amount of noise on the night!

(We’re still waiting for an answer; whether we got a prize or not.)

We got to the Arena at 3:40 pm. We were nervous and excited.

Your team gets 5 points each time you get a question right. Our team got 20 points= 4 questions correct.

Although the Year 8 team got a higher score than us we still had fun!

I enjoyed practicing for Cantamath because it helped me have strategies for the competition.

My next steps are to communicate more so we have a better chance at getting more correct answers.

Here is the finished product!

This is where we hung it in the Horncastle Arena!

We still have a lot of extra cleaning up to do because of the paint all over the wooden seats, concrete and paintbrushes.

Hope you enjoyed my post.
