This is a blog about the Scottish math challenge that me (Hannah) and Brody went on. We achieved a silver award in the Scottish maths challenge and we went on a trip to the mainland. We got to go out for a nice meal and we visited Strathclyde University with other schools who have achieved, including Bowmore primary. There actually was a lot of schools that came across the mainland and even some P5 won silver!
At the start the professor said hello and gave us some questions, that were actually quite hard. I was impressed because the P5’s answered those questions!
At the end the schools went in groups that were named A B C, Port Ellen was group B though, went we went down we got a mug and a pencil and shook the professors hand and went back up till every school went. It was really fun. I got to go shopping. I am proud of myself because that was the first time I did the Scottish math challenge ever and it was really hard but in the end I got Silver! Anyways that was the school trip and it was really fun.
