Maths week 14th -18th October

3rd Class had an incredible time during Maths Week activities in the halla! The room was filled with excitement as everyone dived into a variety of fun and engaging maths challenges. We explored target boards, solved puzzles with tangrams, worked on Chromebooks, and built structures with different materials, all while discovering how maths plays a role in everyday life. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn in a hands-on, creative way, and the energy in the room showed just how much fun maths can be!
