Blue House Runs Away With Inaugural Maths Dash

The competition took place in the school hall and 24 children from Year 2 through to Year 5 completed a series of challenges, which tested their teamwork and communication skills in addition to their mathematical knowledge.

Overseen by the Year 6 House Captains and working in groups of four, they took it in turns, as pairs, to problem solve and answer before dashing to their Captain to check their answers and for the next question.

The children all worked exceptionally well, sharing ideas, demonstrating their impressive mathematical abilities and supporting each other.

Pupils really enjoyed the Maths Dash commenting, they were "up for a challenge", "loved it" and that "we should do it every year"! 

Well done to everyone who took part and a special congratulations to Blue House who finished in first place and were awarded a Diamond trophy in Assembly.

At the end of the competition the final scores were:

Blue Team - 63 points

Red Team - 53 points

Yellow Team - 52 points

A special commendation to the Alex and Shiv, the Year 2 Blue team, who contributed the most points to their team overall.
