The boys are working hard in Mr Sidgreaves’ class. He writes:

As we move into the algebra topics we have a focus on getting the balance between speed and accuracy. There is no use racing through all the questions but only get half of them correct. At the same time, there is no point in getting every question you attempt correct if you only attempt half of them. So it is all about balance.

So … we are battling it out in a “Tournament of the Minds”. A knock out competition where boys are pitted against each other. Two boys have to complete the same question. First one finished wins and goes through to the next round. If you get it wrong though – you are out!

Our winners so far are Tom Burke, Luca Burnett, Archie Curtis and Will Gibbs. Long way to go yet though!!!
