A huge well done to the P6/7 class who won the Orkney Sumdog Maths competition.

There were schools from all over Orkney taking part in the competition.

There had to be 10 pupils in the class, or more, taking part and their combined scores were pitched against the other schools.

Firth P6/7 were out in front early on as they started with great enthusiasm and no-one could catch them as they continued to work hard!

Once 10 pupils had signed up they were top of the leader board and that is where they stayed for the remainder of the week.

It was very exciting as the pupils climbed the board, overtaking and challenging each other, even.  Once they had run out of questions, each pupil being allowed 1000 each, they had reached their place.

A proud teacher moment for me!

This was a fantastic effort from our school community.  We had photos from lots of different people all having a go and we ended up with some spectacular images.

It was the most difficult job to decide on some winners.  There were 3 judges and each person had a different idea about what ‘lockdown’ meant to them, and then they considered the age of the photographer and then the photography skills.

So, after a few discussions and lots of debate, the judges eventually came up with a few photos which they have chosen for prizes.
