17th and 18th November – The Four Nations Maths Challenge

The Four Nations Maths Challenge has come and gone!  Schools and students from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have competed to become the national champions! Congratulations to all who participated.

The Four Nations Maths Challenge Hall of Fame is closed for verification. Coming soon ……… Final Placings for the Hall of Fame. Stay tuned for the final results announcement.

To reward everyone’s fantastic participation and effort in the challenge, each gold coin collected will have earned you 10 credits at the end of the challenge!

Day 1 of the challenge saw a maximum of 30 coins to collect; 3 coins to collect for each topic. On Day 1 pupils from the four nations answered over 5 million questions and over 41/2 million questions were correct.

Day 2 saw 150 coins to collect, 10 coins on levels 1 to 5, and double coins (20 coins) on levels 6 to 10 of Live Mathletics. On Day 2 nearly 11 million questions were answered with 92% accuracy! Fantastic!

With almost 2 whole days there was everything to play for!

Pupils from P6M have worked very enthusiastically throughout both days of the challenge, both at school and at home. The computer suite was even buzzing at lunchtime when many pupils gave up part of their break to score points. We have made it onto the Scottish leader board several times throughout the two days.

Look at how many points we scored on Thursday!

Another day and we’re going up!

Well done to all the children who worked so hard on their Mathletics last night. You have boosted our class score and taken us to 13th place on the UK leaderboard with 27 041 points.

The Country Wind by The Chattery Chipmunks

The Country Wind

The pitch-black clouds raced across the grey sky.

The howling wind tore quickly through the vast, mighty forest.

Brown, crinkly leaves travelled majestically to the forest floor.

The dead branches clattered noisily to the soft, mossy ground.

The cranky, old, red fox scattered stiffly

To its death from an oncoming branch.

The Country Wind by The Marshmallow Pandas

The Country Wind

The deadly wind tears through the creepy forest.

Rapidly the leaves spin downwards off the trees.

Quickly the old branches crash to the moss covered ground.

The old, grumpy, grey fox scurries to his damp earth.

The dark, mighty clouds fly across the vast, gloomy sky.

Angrily the old, constipated, ugly farmer

Slams his ragged door on the mad day.

The Country Wind by The Royal Stars

The Country Wind

The ferocious wind raced through the deep, dark forest.

Dramatically the leaves fiercely dropped the trees.

Branches anxiously die down to the covered up ground.

The old fox sprinted quickly to his underground lair.

Dark clouds rush upon the motionless pitch-black sky.

Rapidly the farmer slammed his dog shut.

The Country Wind by The Cheeky Chinchillas

The Country Wind

The powerful wind tore through the deep, scary forest.

Old ragged leave stumbled down off the moss-covered tree.

Broken branches thundered to the wet, squidgy ground.

The old, sly fox scurried quickly to his damp underground earth.

Angrily the dark clouds thundered across the gloomy sky.

The old crabbit farmer slammed his door ferociously on the dark day.
