Here are some :-)

Puzzle Time

This term we have challenged each other to solve unique puzzles that we designed during a Maths lesson. Each puzzle was made from a 20x20cm square and had to be cut into 5 pieces.

Some puzzles proved a lot trickier than expected and were even more difficult if the patterning was interesting too.

It was house against house for house points! Check out the action below.

Local Auckland teacher, causes chaos in Britomart Square

12^th February 2013

Local Auckland teacher, Matthew Chonginator caused mass chaos in Britomart Square over the weekend when he and a group of friends started a Gangnam Style flashmob.

Mr Chonginator and his group of Balmoral School teachers decided to perform to raise money for sufferers of the Christchurch earthquakes. “It was amazing”, Mr Chonginator said. “The crowd got really into it and because of the popularity of PSY’s song, most people knew the dance moves.”
