Mathletics Information

How do students gain a Mathletics certificate?

A certificate is awarded to a student once they have earned 1000 points in a single week. Only one certificate is awarded each week, to help encourage sustained study by the student. Points are awarded across Mathletics in a number of ways…

• Live Mathletics – students earn one point per correct answer
• Live Mathletics – students earn two points per correct answers on their bonus level
• Mathletics curriculum – 10 points per correct answer within individual activities*
• Mathletics curriculum – 20 points per correct answer within a “Test”*

*Within the Mathletics curriculum a maximum of 300 points can be earned per week from a single activity (600 points for “Tests”). This is designed to encourage students to attempt a wide range of activities.

Bryan's star student teaching

For Bryan's Star Student teaching he showed us some videos of his drumming.

There were loud, rhythmical and amazing. We didn't know he had these musical skills.

After we got to ask him some questions.

Here are the links to his videos.

Arthur's mountain biking writing

Arthur wrote this fantastic piece of writing when he was working with Mrs Arlidge. He had to imagine he was mountain biking and describe what was going on.

Read his writing, then watch the Youtube clip that is at the bottom of this post.


I am ready to go. I am desperate to push off but I need to get ready. 

People are cheering like they are about to explode into a thousand pieces. I bolted off! As I went scrambling off I was getting petrified. There were heaps of gigantic rocks. It was nerve wracking. 

I was flipping like a whale, flipping put of the water. I feel out of breath! I was hesitating like I was falling. Dust was rushing into my eyes. I was about to tumble down over a lump of stones into hell.

I bolted like I was the speed of light. I was near the end, well almost. I was concentrating super hard. I could hear the thunder of the cheering so loud my ears were about to fall off. So many flips. 

I feel like I’m going to vomit all over the show. Two more minutes left until I can scuttle home. There is the end. 

I was trying to gaps for breath. I have 20 seconds left. I’m peddling so hard my legs are going to drop off. I feel dizzy. I think I’m going to explode into the sky like a firework whistling into the night. 

Do you think I will do that again? Oh God I will!

Dr Seuss-Oh the places you'll go

To celebrate what would have been Dr Seuss's 110th birthday we dressed up in our PJ"s, read and listened to books by Dr Seuss and did some writing inspired by the story 'Oh the places you'll go."

We thought about different ways we could go....

Then we did some writing about places we would like to go in our futures. We choose some of these to publish on our hot air balloons.

 

Then some of us got to add the mural in the back ground.
