Maths and ICT Week
T
he week of the 10th of March gave all Primary students an opportunity to take part in ISB’s annual Maths and ICT Week. It proved to be a very busy week, full of activities and competitions. Many students from all year groups spent their breaktimes in Mr Warlow’s classroom, attempting to solve devilishly difficult number and shape problems, and earning points for the House Competition at the same time. Every break saw the classroom bursting with determination and enjoyment. At the same time, a huge number of students produced some really top quality posters showing us how maths is used constantly in our daily lives. Judging the competition was extremely difficult, as so many were worthy of winning prizes. The best of the posters were also displayed in the gallery area. While competitions were also ongoing during ICT lessons, the big maths quiz happened during Thursday lunchtime. It was a closely fought battle with teams from the four houses in Key Stage 2. Eventually, after great teamwork, we ended in a dead heat between Lions and Elephants. It took a tie-break question to give Elephants the final win. This also meant that the overall winners for the whole week, after all competitions were taken into account, were the Elephants. Well done to them!
