Which house team will claim gold in our Primary School Maths Day?<\/h2>\r\nWith TCI Education Week 2016 and World Math Day coming up, the International School decided to hold a celebration of the world of maths!\r\nIn our primary school, maths is of upmost importance and\u00a0we try to make it\u00a0appeal to all children, regardless of ability. We all know that\u00a0children learn faster and retain more of the lessons taught them when it is done in a fun and easy way.\u00a0\u00a0We used this\u00a0day to\u00a0celebrate the wonderful world of mathematics and\u00a0try out a range of creative ways to make maths even more fun than ever!\r\n\r\nThe school was split into their house teams the Tainos, the Caribs and the Arawaks and the children\u00a0took part in all manner of fun and competitive maths games.\r\n\r\nIn the last hour, we decided to mix it up a bit. Each team would have 2 challenges. The relay and the cup challenge! The day ended with a nail biting quiz.\r\n\r\nWe have two maths activity days planned for March. Come out and watch our children succeed.\r\n

Outdoor Relay Games<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nOur next activity, was a race to fill up a beaker with a certain amount.\r\n\r\nThe teams raced to fill up their cups but only to discover that their cups has holes at the bottom of them.\r\n\r\nNot as easy as they expected it to be. But the challenge was set and the Arawaks<\/strong> were victorious.\r\n\r\nGreat team work!\r\n\r\n\n\n \n \n \n
