Maths pupils enjoy sum success

Axminster St Mary’s RC Primary School children gain certificates after completing challenge

Pupils at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Axminster have been taking part in the primary maths challenge, a national competition which is designed to make youngsters think ‘outside the box’.

The 25 questions asked - some relatively easy, others harder - were not necessarily subjects that had been covered in the school’s curriculum so far and they really made the children think. All the pupils received a certificate for taking part, some achieving a gold award for top marks.
