National Young Mathematicians Award
On Wednesday afternoon, a group of four children from year 6 competed in the Explore Learning NYMA competition. Round 1 consisted of eleven schools from the local area competing in two different venues. The children were given a complex problem solving task and an hour to solve 4 separate challenges. They were assessed on the answers they found, the team work they showed and on the end of task presentation they preformed, detailing their findings. It was inspiring to see them work so well together and I am proud to announce that they have been selected to proceed to the next round. Well done to all those involved!
