Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The \u2018Water\u2019 house is the overall winner of the Baie Lazare Inter-house Math quiz competition with 28 points, ahead of their closest rival, \u2018Fire\u2019 house which scored 27 points.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thirty pupils participated in the competition at their school thusday morning. According to the school\u2019s Math coordinator and event\u2019s organiser, Damiene Thomas, the aim of the competition was to promote the subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cMathematics is a subject where students do not score high marks, and doing different activities at house level will help them appreciate and love the subject, and score higher marks,\u201d said Miss Thomas.<\/p>\n

She explained the quiz covers everything students have learned during the school term and these include topics covered in the Mathematic National Curriculum.<\/p>\n

For the competition, the 30 pupils from Primary 2 to Primary 6, were divided into their specific school\u2019s house system \u2013 namely Water, Fire and Wind.<\/p>\n

Each house is represented by a colour \u2013 Water (orange), Fire (pink) and Wind (yellow).<\/p>\n

Six pupils from each primary level were selected to represent their house and each house was represented by two pupils.<\/p>\n

The pupils competed with other \u2018houses\u2019 from the same level and winners from each house were given a trophy for first place.<\/p>\n

All participants were presented with a certificate as well as the \u2018Best Scorers\u2019 at each primary level.<\/p>\n

According to Miss Thomas, the overall winner was determined by adding house points from Primary 2 to Primary 6.<\/p>\n

The Primary House winners were as follows:- Wind for P2, Fire for P3 and P4, Water for P5 & Fire for P6.<\/p>\n

\u2018Water\u2019 house was the overall winner.<\/p>\n

Miss Thomas said the pupils had just completed their assessment and exam and she was satisfied with the results and the competition was a success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see great improvement for some results, the pupils have done a really good work. I would say it was a success because the students were eager to start the quiz, share their knowledge. However, Primary 2 students were a bit shy, because it was their first competition. I personally feel that this activity has given a boost to the pupils\u2019 motivation and confidence,\u201d said Miss Thomas.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the school held a Math challenge last term and there again it was \u2018Water\u2019 house that came in 1st place.<\/p>\n

Baie Lazare primary said for the coming third term, it will host a \u2018Parent Math challenge\u2019 with the same concept to inspire students to love and appreciate Mathematics.<\/p>\n
