Port Ellen Primary school recently took part in the National Maths Inside competition as part of Maths Week Scotland. Entrants must take a photo and write about the ‘Maths Inside’ the picture they have taken, identifying and reflecting on the maths in the world around us.
This year we had commended entries from P1- Rosie Hannett with Boaty Bubbles, P2 Noah Johnston with Rolling In, P6 Archie Logan with Dosing Sheep, P7 Thomas Edwards with Distracting Refracting Reflecting Rainsbows, Rachel Heads with Dancing into Shape, and Hugh Mackinnon with Bend it like Magnus. Jacob Hart P7 was a runner up at second level with Angel’s Share and Brody Shakespeare P6 was the winner at second level with Taking a Photo of a Photo of a Photo… Port Ellen Primary School itself was also a awarded best school for the quality of engagement and entries.
Finally we had overall winners in the 2023 competition: in the category ‘Oot An’ Aboot’ Aidan Ambrose P6 won £50 gift voucher for his Archaeology entry and in the category ‘In Motion’ Ellie Chandler P6 won £50 for her Bee Tornadoes Entry. Well done everyone.
