Year 7: Our Numeracy Ninjas

Ever wondered what a Numeracy Ninja would look like? Mrs Beatham-McDonald explains.

Our Year 7 students have started working on a new numeracy scheme during registration this half term called Numeracy Ninjas, the programme aims to help students improve the key numeracy skills in areas such as mental maths, times tables, written calculations, negative numbers, and fractions, among others. Each week they complete a short 5 minute test that they gain points for and then get a corresponding ninja belt level.

They have all worked brilliantly and special mention should be given to Daisy H, Astrid R, Henry P, Emily W and Flynn C who will all achieve improver certificates for going up by at least two belts this half-term and to Neema N L and Mackenzie M who have both achieved their black ninja belt, the top one available, and will receive grand master certificates. Well done year 7, keep up the hard work.

Mathematicians of the Month: Students in other year groups have also been working hard and we should say how particularly proud we are of our Mathematicians of the Month for January Ella S, Yr 11 for her perseverance and improvement in the subject and, for February, Max P for his hard work in class and with his independent study, Eden H for her outstanding attitude towards learning and Neema N L for her excellent contributions in class and her consistently good work ethic.
