As detailed on the December Newsletter, 9 boys
were put through to the National Finals of the Primary Mathematics Chal-
lenge. 72,000 children were entered and only 33 received a gold medal.
Well done to all the boys for participating in this challenge and for doing
your best and to the following 3 boys for their great success!

RAINFOREST TOPIC
To complete our Rainforest
Topic the boys worked in
groups of three or four to
make giant rainforest animals
from wicker. This was a great
team building activity and we
are looking forward to display-
ing the finished products
around the school grounds.
The Year 6 boys enjoyed learning the skills
of debating when doing this topic. Each
group took on a role of a group of people
who are effected, either positively or nega-
tively, by deforestation. The boys were pas-
sionate and articulate and worked well to-
gether on this.
Primary Mathematics Challenge
To understand which household products
come from the Rainforest, the boys had a
tasting session in school, before raiding their
cupboards at home to see just how much we
use in our daily lives comes from the Rainfor-
est. The boys tasted guava juice, pineapple,
coconut and mango.
Bikeability Week
During the last week of the Easter term, the boys took part
in Bikeability, all boys passed level 1 on the first day and
are now out on the roads!
