My 2016 Digi Award

This year for my digi award I was working with some of my friends; Base, Emily, Katie, Paige, Jorja and myself. This years topic was 'To be the change' we focused on the subject movie making and we made a movie about, why people should stop bullying and how it affects others around them. Last night on the 15th of September my sister and some of her friends one first prize, the first prize winners got a virtual reality google cardboard.

My First Cantamaths Experience

Cantamaths

On Wednesday the 24th of August 7 students from Rimu and 1 student from Kauri went to Cantamaths, there was 1 Yr 8 team and 1 Yr 7 team. At 4:00pm the Yr 7 teams had to go down from the stands down into the floor area for the runners to choose a table. Shukoor was our Yr 7 team runner; he chose a table that was in the middle of the area. At the end of the 30 minutes they counted the scores and the Yaldhurst Yr 7 team ended up with 20 points, they did really well for their first time.

At 5:00pm the Yr 8 team went down to the floor area for the runner to pick a table. The Yr 8 runner was me - I was the runner and I chose a table on the far left which I thought was a very good idea because I had a slightly shorter distance to run, (well that's what I thought anyway). I thought it was a good idea because I thought we would end up getting more points and it did work, at the end we had a total of 75 points; we bet our school record by 40 points! That’s 8 questions more than last year. Half way through it, someone stopped running in front of me so I had a stubbed toe for 15 minutes and running with a stubbed toe hurts a lot! There was no way to change runners because once you’re a runner you’re always a runner. Here are some photos from the night. This was our Yr 8 team score, here is a photo of our score. This was what our Yr 8 team score was. Here is a photo of our best Yaldhurst score.

Also here is a photo of a team banner that some friends and I made together as part of the Cantamaths display exhibition.
