Tournament of Minds: Year 5/6 Learning Opportunity

We are offering Year 5 & 6 students the opportunity to participate in a competition called Tournament of Minds. It is a competition between schools where students are given a problem to solve. They have six weeks to develop a creative answer and presentation. They will also be given a spontaneous challenge on the day and will have only 5 minutes to come up with a creative answer. This is a great opportunity to extend students' cognitive and problem solving capabilities, as well increasing their confidence. Further information is available via this link - Parent Information

If your child is interested in finding out more about Tournament of Minds, we are running preparation sessions on Fridayafternoons (3:15-4:15). We will provide a light snack. We will also be using the next two Friday afternoons, plus the Fridayafternoon session we have just had, to select the team of seven. If your child will be attending the Friday afternoon sessions, please e-mail Urs (urs.cunningham@amesbury.school.nz) or Demelza (demelza.topp@amesbury.school.nz).
