What we love about Maths

This term students have been engaged in various Maths topics and have loved playing games, solving problems and challenging their Mathematical thinking.

STEM Club

Today the STEM leaders held a Kahoot quiz at lunchtime. The students loved answering questions about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and competing against other teams. Congratulations to the all of the students who participated and to the winning group!
