Maths Stars
Maths Ambassadors!
A warm hello from the Maths Ambassadors! It is our job to celebrate maths throughout the school and that is exactly what we will be doing. We meet with Mr Powell on a regular basis to tell him what we think can be done to make maths even more fun at St Albert’s. So far our ideas of more maths competitions and puzzle days have been a great success and we have plenty more ideas in store.
Remember to drop by to our maths club every lunch time to practice on the apps and play other great maths games that we have available!
Maths Council notes 12/1/18
- Ambassadors commented upon the success of the lunch time app clubs and said that pupils from other classes enjoyed taking the opportunity to practice their maths skills
