Hockey!!!

Every Wednesday our hockey team, The Fordell Blues, plays hockey for 30 minutes. There are about 12 teams in the tournament so there is a fairly good chance that we will win. Yesterday we played for 3rd and 4th against Gonville. We really wanted to come 3rd!!

We all played very well and the final score was 4-3 to us!!!! "We came 3rd in the tournament" I shouted. My heart was pounding with excitement. We couldn't believe it!! Well done Fordell Blues!

How many teeth do snails have?

How many teeth do snails have? It is believed that an average snail has 25000 teeth. It may seem quite unlikely but it is actually 100% true. I read it in the book 'how to avoid a wombats bum.' You should read it to!!

Mathex

On Wednesday some clever mathematicians went to mathex. Mathex is a competition were teams of 4 compete by answering 20 questions in the given amount of time. The given amount of time is 30 minutes but if someone answers all 20 questions correctly in 30 minutes then they would have stopped the clock. If you pass and you complete all the other questions you cannot go back to the passed question, you have to wait until either somebody stops the clock or the 30 minutes is up. I was in the year 5 age group and we got up to the last question but we just couldn't figure it out. We were panicking because we had been on the last question for 10 minutes and in the end we never got it. We were very nervous to hear the results and the man said that the winner was Fordell!!!! That's my team. So we won mathex. I had a very good time that night. Well done Fordell mathex team!!!
