Year 3/4 Chess Tournament
The children of Room 8 decided to host a chess tournament so they could enjoy some challenging chess. There was an overwhelming response from Year 3 and 4 students and 70 children took part in the tournament. We were all able to enjoy taking part in the competition with most of the children competing for the first time. Through chess, the children were developing their logical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as dealing with the realities of winning and losing in a competition setting. A representative from the Auckland Chess Association was on hand to provide support and was impressed by the good sportsmanship and competition displayed by the children.
