On Tuesdays, Kirkcolm opened its doors to all the parents of pupils to come in for an afternoon of Numeracy and STEM games with the children! It gave the pupils a chance to challenge their parents to complete different Math tasks and to have a peek at just what the pupils are getting up to in school.

We all split into 6 different mixed groups and at each station we had a P6/7 or teacher leading the activities and our resident photographer (Mrs Warwick) went around snapping some photos of the day!

We challenged parents to complete a Big Math Beat That, played some of the snazzy 3D Sumdog games, had Lego building challenges, outdoor brainteasers, marshmallow towers (and nobody tried to eat any!) and finally guiding the Coding Mouse through a variety of mazes!

Here’s what the pupils thought about the afternoon;

Luke (P5) – “Very fun!”

Olivia (P5) – “The Frog challenge was good!”

Abbie A (P7) – “Seeing everybody have fun was the best part about it!”

Arla (P6) – “The Frog Challenge was hard but fun…”

Daniel (P6) – “MY favour part was doing the marshmallow cocktail stick tower challenge”
