Today saw the best maths brains at our school battle it out for the 'Great Weymouth Mathematical Challenge' title. The juniors, middles and seniors contested syndicate heats and then the middle and senior winners battled it out for the grand title. Well done to Tristan from Room 11 and Johnny from Room 18 who made it to the final. Congratulations to Tristan who won the keenly fought contest.

Special Assembly

Monday's special assembly was a great way to start our maths week. Constable Selina gave us a taste of her ball throwing skills and Mr Neho demonstrated his press up skills. They will both be putting these skills to the test at the 'Great estimating event' on Friday. The House Captains will also be putting in a special appearance. We can't wait!
