WAI Maths is a maths problem solving competition which you do in groups of three. I was in one of the year seven groups along with Sarah and Ryan. While the year 8 team consisted of Laura, Daniel and Matt. I found some of the maths questions rather hard while on the other hand some of them were really easy. Although we tried our hardest my group didn’t quite finish all the 20 problems in the 45 minutes we had .Once our time was up and we had come 14th equal out of about 24, our group decided that it would have been better if we had just passed on some of the harder problems. Hopefully whoever represents our school next time might take this advice and do a bit better next time.

Just lately there was a netball game between New Zealand and England. It was a match from the netball tri-series. There is three teams in the netball tri-series, the three teams are New Zealand’s Silver Ferns, Australia and England.

In one of the games the Silver Ferns vs England the score was 45 - 50 to England. England won by 5 goals and it was their first win against us in 34 years and 66 matches. This was a victory to remember by England and Hopefully New Zealand can train hard and with any luck do better next time.
