Yesterday Kindergarten participated in a whole school maths fun day ! The children were put into different groups with children from all grades. From there, the groups rotated around 10 activities that combined physical activity and mathematical thinking. The children had a great time during their own St Joseph's amazing race as groups collected letters at the completion of every activity in which they had to put together to make a sentence at the end. Groups made sentences like Maths is magic!, Maths is awesome! and Maths is marvelous. At the end of the day the children were treated to an iceblock for their wonderful participation and enthusiasm for the day. 
Some of the favourite activities included, Count how many sit ups you can do in a minute, making tangram pictures, using paddlepop sticks to create a design and then solving a problem, listening to properties of shapes and working together using elastic to create the shape and making paper areoplanes, flying them and measuring how far they travelled.
