Cantamath 2012

We have had great success here at Westburn with Cantamath this year. All students from years 6-8 were required to make a Math project, such as Written Work, a Mathematical Poster or a Mathematical Model. The teachers then judged these projects and decided which ones would be sent to the CBS Arena, to be on display with student's projects from all around Canterbury.

43 awards were given to projects created by Westburn students. These were a mix of Highly Commended and Excellences, and one extremely hard working student was awarded a very prestigious prize indeed. This was Helena, and her "Epcot Ball". Helena received an "Outstanding Award", which is only awarded to one person in each year group. This is an amazing achievement. Well done, Helena!

Westburn also did exceedingly well in the Cantamath Team problem solving competition. The year 7 team, Gabe, Jem, Akshat and Kate B placed 6th, with an awesome score of 95/100 questions. Well done, guys!
The year 8 team placed 5th, with a remarkable score of 100/100, with 3 minutes of the competition left. The year 8s involved were Chloe K, Yoon Su, Justine L and Olivia. What an awesome achievement!

Stars in their Eyes? Movie

This video was created on iMovie as a task while Year 7's were on Ski Trip. It is a spoof on various movies, and don't take offense if you are a Justin Bieber fan!

Hope you enjoy!
