Da Vinci Decathlon 2017

Can you and a partner make up a 60 second dramatic performance based on the following image?

Can you identify the following place?

The numbers in each pair of brackets follow the same rule. Find the missing number : [48,13], [80,21], [36, ?] 


These are the kind of challenges our Year 5 and Year 6 Da Vinci Decathlon teams faced at this year’s annual event held at Knox Grammar on Thursday 25 May this year. Students competed in groups of eight, team work was a must, as were ingenuity and resourcefulness.

More than 75 schools participated and our teams secured positions in the top 16 places in the following disciplines:

Year 5: Creative Producers third and Engineering seventh

Year 6: General Knowledge third; Code Breaking tenth; Art and Poetry sixth; Mathematics sixth; and Science fifteenth.

The Year 6 Team came eleventh in the overall competition.

Congratulations to all students and well done on the time you spent training as well as on your team work. We are proud of you! Thank you to Ms Maynard for supporting us and attending on the day.
