Maths in Motion - National Competition Runners Up

Woodside Junior School came 2nd in the Primary School age catergory. Under the direction and teaching of Mrs Penhaligon, Mr Gocher and Mrs Smith have been taking a group of year 5 and 6 children each week to work on the Jaguar Cars Maths in Motion programme. More than 1,000 schools around the country signed up to Maths in Motion for the 2008/2009 season and the final 36 schools in three age catergories met for the National Challenge Final on Thursday June 25th 2009. The team was Denis Mikhaylov, Charlie Hardy, Joseph Gocher and Charles Page. They won a host of prizes for the School, including a 60-user licence for the Alta Adaptive Learning System, an Epson photo printer, a maths probability kit, interactive calculators and many other goodies.

This is a wonderful achievement for this school and without doubt demonstrates what an outstanding aptitude we have for teaching and learning mathematics here.
