Maths Success
Pupils who attend Problem Solving Club recently took part in the UK Maths Trust Intermediate Maths Challenge, a national competition testing problem solving skills. We are very impressed with these results, especially from our S1/2 pupils as this competition level is aimed at S3-4. All worked very hard, taking away past papers to practise in their own time, and showed a lot of resilience with this year’s fairly tough set of questions.
Pupils L->R are: Roddy F, Eilidh Mc, Tanisha S, Georgie S*, Grace S*, Lily F, Agsayan P*.
Starred pupils, plus Nicole E (not pictured) earned a Gold Certificate and such a high score that they receive an invite to the next round of this competition – an accolade enjoyed by only a small percentage of entrants. We wish them all the best as they prepare for this next round.
Music Success
Well done to Archie (S3) who picked up a trophy for his trombone playing, as did Oscar (S3) for cornet. They have both played with Dalmellington Brass Academy for some time and this weekend competed in the 81st Dalmellington Brass Band Slow Melody competition.
Oscar took second place in the Advanced Junior Section, with Archie just one point behind in 3rd place. Archie was also awarded the Carr trophy for dedication and commitment, selected by the junior band’s conductor.
