Maths Week at Knights Stream School!
During week 3 of this term, all our tamariki engaged in a range of activities to celebrate Maths Week.
Maths Week at the school included scavenger hunts, lego club, daily riddles and fun in class lessons. During the week, our senior students also took part in Times Tables Rockstars to find out which class and individual knew their times tables the best.
Our lovely student council did a great job at helping with lego club and running a Maths Bingo session for our tamariki.
