Tournament of Minds

OK, so today was our State Finals where we had to present our play and then cross our fingers and hope it was good enough to get us to Brisbane. Dad filmed our performance so turn your sound up because here it is!

So what do you think? I want lots of comments plz!

We also had to do a Spontanious, which is a problem you get given and you have to come up with a creative solution in four minutes. The judges watch you and give you lots of points for creativity and team work.

We got a special award for being the best team the Spontanious Judges saw.

Overall we came second (Tournament Honours) :(

There were 19 teams so we beat 16 of them (there's 2 Tournament Honours). So we beat 4 Ogalvie teams, 3 Grammer teams, 2 Quiche teams, 2 Kingston teams, Mt Carmel, Rose Bay, Sorell (not hard), St Patcick's, Leighland and Riverside. If that doesn't add up then I missed someone.

We tied with Scotch Okeburn and one Grammer team.

No Queensland :(

But we still had tons of fun and there's always next year!

P.S. - Maddles - good luck in your state finals. We didn't get enough teams to do regionals so we only had States.

  4. Emma; For Spontanious we had pentagon shaped buisness card with the acronim BLEND. We had four minutes to decide what the acronim stood for, what the buisness did, and what the signifigance of the shape of the buisness card was.

    We came up with a funeral palor with the slogan 'Because Life Ends Now, my Dearest'. The Hexagon Shaped buisness card was the shape of a grave and of a coffin. Our Funeral Palor also gave grief counceling and supports families in their time of need.

    Aunty Joolz; Yes to both. And I loved Mamma Mia!
