We have had a number of Maths related events this month - we competed in the world-wide Mathlethics events and the Czech Klokan competitions. Sharing and celebrating the outcomes of these events, and distributing the first house points and certificates for the most successful pupils, gave us an excellent starting point for the final school event - Maths day.
During the day our pupils could gain further house points from two separate house competitions, which required teamwork, cheering each other up and individual level headedness. In the first competition, pupils competed in Live Mathletics games against different houses and secondary-level games. But before they could begin, each house had to have a strategic meeting and agree on who would represent their house. This might sound like an easy task, but it requires some good leadership skills to make big choices of this kind. After all, each game could bring in a house point! Following the Live Mathletics games, and a little refreshing outdoor break, pupils worked again in their houses. This time the focus was problem-solving instead of speed calculation skills as in Live Mathletics.
In addition to rewarding successful maths-related outcomes, we also rewarded two children with special house points for being the most well-spirited and helpful pupils during the day - well done.
When all house points were counted, the winner of Maths Day 2023 was……..FOXES! Great work Foxes! As a reference, please find all the rewards given during the day in the attached table.
