Congratulations to Emilia, Albert, George, Leo and Benjamin who all got through to the Bonus Round of the Primary Maths Challenge last term.
Only 5% of the 61,000 pupils who took part progress to this round, so this is an outstanding achievement and a testament to their hard work. From these pupils, George gained a Bronze certificate and Benjamin and Leo both gained a Silver. A huge well done.
We also saw excellent results in the Intermediate Maths Challenge, with 19 certificates awarded across the Year 6 - 8 pupils who entered. This is an international problem-solving paper designed for pupils in Year 11 and below and encourages mathematical reasoning and fluency.
Both Trixie and Divit in Year 8, reached the qualifying level for the Grey Kangaroo. Divit went on to gain a Gold certificate, a truly impressive result.
The same Leo (Year 6), was awarded Best in School and qualified for the Cayley Maths Olympiad, which consists of 6 complex questions requiring full reasoning and explanation. He showed exceptional maturity and thought in his answers and gained a Certificate of Merit.
Congratulations to all of them for the dedication and extra effort they put into preparing for these challenges!

What magic would your pebble have?
Year 2 have been exploring what makes poetry - its rhythm, structure, imagery, and sound. They have enjoyed listening to a range of poems, including the Magic Pebble by Roger McGough, and discussing how poets use language to get across meaning.
The children have been using their imaginations to think about what magic their own pebble could have and the ‘consequence’ of that magic. Working in pairs, they wrote down their ideas, which will then be used to compose their own poems using rhyme and sound patterns they have been studying.
We look forward to reading their finished poems!
