The Primary Maths Challenge

Before the Christmas break, some of our children in Year 6 were invited to take part in the Primary Maths Challenge which is a national competition in which the children have 45 minutes to solve 25 reasoning and problem-solving questions. The questions increase in difficultly as they go through the paper and become really challenging at the end! We would like to say well done to all of the children for the dedication and effort that they showed.
