Cantamaths

Yesterday, on the 28th August, me and 7 others went to Christchurch for Cantamaths. Remember the Westamaths post I did not too long ago? Well, we made it through that, so then we went to Christchurch. I got to school just after 9 am and everyone else was in my class. We were going in the school van to Christchurch. I won't tell you everything, because that would take AGES, but I will tell you some of the highlights. So we got in the school van and Matt's Dad drove us to Christchurch. We stopped in Arthur's Pass and the snow there was beautiful. Then we got out and had lunch in Springfield on a playground. There was a basket swing and that was really fun. Next stop was Riccarton Mall in Christchurch. We split into 2 groups. I wanted to go to Paper Plus because we all had vouchers for it. But it turns out either there wasn't one, or it was just really hard to find. So then we had Sushi for lunch. I had Salmon in mine. Then we went to the Horncastle Arena, where the competition would take place. The year 7's would go first. The runner waits outside the doors of Door 2. Then they went through and chose where they wanted to sit. The guy on the mic kept talking and it was annoying because I just wanted to watch the year 7's go. In the end, the year 7's got 90 points. They came 3rd equal with about 5 teams. Then it was the year 8's turn. I was the runner so I went and waited outside Door 2. We went in and I chose the same desk as the year 7's. In the end, we did okay with 50 points. Then came dinner at MacDonald's. I had a cheeseburger and chips. It was really yummy. Then we drove home. Nothing exciting on the way home. We got back to school and I was really tired. I went home and fell straight asleep because it was 11 pm and I was so tired. It was really fun and a great experience, I really liked going to Cantamaths.
