*** Mental Maths Monsters ***

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Mental Maths Monsters Competition! Each year group designed a unique monster linked to the mental maths strategy they were assigned to. The creativity, colour, and imagination in every entry was outstanding!

After much deliberation, we were delighted to announce the winning monsters for each year group at assembly yesterday. These winning designs will now be digitised by a graphic designer and proudly displayed across classrooms and shared spaces in our school. This initiative, led by Numeracy co-ordinator Mr Doyle, was a key facet of this year’s action plan in connection with school improvement.
