Laura's Champs Report.

Check out Laura's reults on earlier post.

"Nationals was great fun in Blenheim - we went in mini vans and on the ferry to the South Island and stayed in a motel.

I competed on the first day of competition and the top 16 got through to the second day (which included me) which was on Friday.  My team got a bronze medal and I got 4th on vault and 5th on bar out of all of New Zealand.  I watched Jordan Rae who is an international gymnast - she did really tricky stuff especially on the beam and the floor. 

I hope to go to the Nationals again next year as a Step 6 gymnast - I won't have far to go as it is in Hawke's Bay.  So you can all come and watch.  :)"

Mathletics Here - Frances ft Lauren

Hi my name is Frances. In the holidays Lauren and i went to Herbertville.  Along the way we saw some things:

1

1.    The Longest Place Name in The World.  This place has 3 & 7/26's alphabets in its' name - that is 85 letters.  The name is in memory of Chief Tamatea's brother who was killed here.  It is near Porangahau.

2.    Waterthletics on Herbertville Beach.

3.    Skulduggery Mathletics.

4.    Lambthletics - Lauren and I spent lots of time playing with these lambs.  There were 5 lambs who had lost their mums.  The ones we are holding are called Soxy (Lauren is holding) and Nibbler (the one i am holding). The other three are called Boots, Fluffy and Lucky.  Nibbler, Boots and Soxy are triplets.  The youngest lamb, Nibbler is 2 weeks old, the oldest, Lucky, is 6 weeks old.  Using Mathletics Ipad i calculate the variance is 4 weeks.

5.    Mud Mathletics.  Lauren and I found black mud under the sand at Herbertville.  Some of it was so sinky I sunk up to my knees. 

 


6.    Mathletics with a Spot of Tennis.  On the way home we stopped for a spot of tennis at Wimbledon. Tally-ho!

Mathletics Here - Oscar

Oscar @ Lake Rotoiti

 

We had a great time at Lake Rotoiti. We spent 3 days there and it was awesome!! We soon discovered a cliff with a huge hole in it, covered with creepers.  Through that, was a secret beach with a jetty (that's where we got some pictures). The water was sort of cold but manageable (Mum wanted me to put my head under for a picture but it was a bit too cold for THAT). On the last day, Lockie, Dad, Bruno and I, went kayaking. We paddled round the shore to get to another beach (on an island) were you could dig a hole and find hot/warm water. We had forgotten to bring a spade so we used our oars. When we paddled back to our batch the water was very shallow and we had to get out and push the kayaks along.

On the way home we stopped at the Red Wood forest park for orienteering.  It was very hard because the controls were tiny and hidden VERY well.  I could only find the first checkpoint, and after a vain attempt to find the 2^nd checkpoint point I decided to walk back and admit defeat.

Dad said the second one was on the side of a Bridge at ground level!! We weren’t timed either so I couldn’t see how long I “got lost” for.  (At least I have a 2-point advantage for next time.)

 

Mathletics Here - Will

Hi my name is Will T, we did a lot of mathletics in our class at Haumoana School and after we found an engineering textbook in the library we knew we now had the ability to build a spaceship. Our teacher, Mr Barclay laughed and told us to go home and enjoy our holidays. Over the last week we all got together and built the spaceship you see in this photo. Awesome, we made it to the moon and now we're learning quantum physics. Mr Barclay still doesn't understand the Higgs Boson, he should do Mathletics.

I guess this is what happens when rules aren't clearly stated:-) Mr B.



BUT THERE IS STILL MORE!

We did a lot of Mathletics in our class at Haumoana School and we decided to use our new knowledge to thank our teacher. Imagine Mr Barclays surprise when we altered the space time continuum and brought Albert Einstein into our classroom !

We sent Mr Einstein back after lunch.

 

Holiday Shots - 'Mathletics Here' Part 2

Everyone needs a rest at the top of a long hill climb! 

There's nothing better than a bit of mathletics before the downhill.  

We are training for a 40 km cycle challenge  around lake Taupo as a team. 40 km each.

In the photo are me (Noah), my brother George and our best friend Wesley. We all love cycling and Mathletics!
