Year 7 Maths Challenge

This was a team building exercise delivered by students from the University of Chester. The day was aimed at making our Year 7 pupils aware that Maths can be fun and exciting. Pupils were placed in teams of 4 with other classes so they were given the opportunity to work with new people and try out new skills.

All pupils worked to a very high standard and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Along with these classroom activities, all pupils took part in a Gecko challenge which was a Maths quiz race competing against their friends. Three teams did extremely well (answering all 24 questions), although 5 pupils from the X band defeated all by finishing 10 minutes early – well done to Charlotte Conlan, Ashleigh Edwards, James Moffat, Joe Wood and Elliott Fleming.

A big well done to everyone who took part in Year 7!
