The Spring Term Numeracy project concluded today with a Pirate Challenge for year four pupils from St Clement’s, St Joseph’s St Vincents’s and Cromwell primary schools. The event was hosted by Heartlands Academy, year 10 students ran the challenges which were designed by our Numeracy Consultant Ian Teffer. The Numeracy Programme was run in conjunction with Aston University and involved a group of Aston University students visiting the primary schools every week to run the Numeracy programme with the year four pupils and school staff. The Nechells Pirate Challenge was the final celebration of the project where all the children on the programme got chance to work on problem solving mathematical challenges. The children split into pairs and worked round a series on Numerical activities getting their Pirate passports stamped and collecting POD coins for each of the station challenges they completed. The winners were St Joseph’s, everyone had a fantastic time – we didn’t know maths could be such fun!
