To continue our Maths week celebration, Wednesday saw us have a Maths board games afternoon! Pupils brought in different games that involve Maths and Numeracy and moved around the classroom in their assembly groups to play them. Some parents\/grandparents came in to join in the fun too \u2013 many thanks for coming along! We applied lots of our skills – counting in Frustration, using coordinates in Battleships, and calculations in Shut the Box, just to name a few. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, Kirkcolm and Leswalt travelled to Portpatrick Primary to for a trio schools Maths day. Pupils participated in a computer coding workshop called Computer Xplorers; online Maths competitions such as Sum Dog; and a D&G Maths competition where pupils had to get creative and present their ideas on why they love Maths and why it is important in our lives. The pupils had a great day and were super excited to share their experiences when they returned to school! <\/span><\/p>\n
