Term three means Tournament of Minds time!
This year fourteen clever and creative students were selected from Years 4-6 and placed into two teams. Both teams have worked extremely hard for the past six weeks on their long-term challenge solution which involved staying back at school two afternoons a week, resulting in an extra 18 hours of school time.
Over this time teachers witnessed great teamwork, creative brainstorming, exciting scriptwriting, props and backdrops created and a lot of laughs from all
students involved. Many students commented that they enjoyed working in a group with a variety of people. Hannah said, "the best part of TOM was making friends with people that I never thought that I would."
On Sunday, both teams performed their 10 minute skits to two Tournament of Minds judges, who reported back that both teams had done very well. Mrs Black, Ms Hook and Mrs Craddock were very proud of all the students particularly for their teamwork, great behaviour and the way in which they represented our school.
Darlene said that "...Tournament of Minds was the best experience I have had in Years 4,5 and 6. You have so much fun. Rigby added that "...I would do TOM again because it is the most fun that I have had all year!"
