On the 7th of June to the 8th of June the primary silver-award-winners went on a trip to Glasgow. The Scottish Maths Challenge is a series of difficult word problems that children in Scotland compete in. The different awards you can get are bronze, silver and gold. The silver winners of Port Ellen Primary (Chloe Bonar P7, Iona Kirkpatrick P7 and Evie Wood P6) were also accompanied by Ciara from Bowmore Primary. There were a lot of different activities for the four pupils that went on the trip. To name a few; the Glasgow Science Museum, the Cinema and a lot of shopping. At the awards ceremony all the girls received certificates and mugs. When they were at the ceremony they got asked some difficult questions about big numbers like, how many people are there in the world? The answer to that question is around 7.8 billion! One of the other questions was about Islay! The question was, how many people could you fit on Islay? The answer was a shocking 3.095 billon! All the girls had a great time and really enjoy themselves.
