Today, four pupils from year 5 went to Portsmouth Junior Grammar School to participate in the year 5 Maths Challenge

This was a challenge for young mathematicians to solve puzzles at six stations.

Working in pairs, they worked through five problems during an eight minute period at each station. The activities during the event consisted of a range of tricky mathematical problems, which tested their skills as mathematicians to the very limit.

The children; Sam Kift, Kallum McCormack, Daisy Lee and Stirling Grout performed brilliantly and finished a very commendable 8th and 15th out of some 32 participating schools. Well Done.

A huge thank you to the parents who attended and I hope you enjoyed it as much as the children.
