Maths Olympiad By Orla Carey

On Friday, 5 members of St Peters Catholic Primary School took part in an Maths Olympiad at Crookhorn College. The five children were Oliver, Jacob, Anna, Orla and Cecilia from year 4 and 5. We had to try are hardest to answer fun but challenging questions such as odd ones out and jigsaws in only four minutes. There were ten different tables with two questions in each, the main and the bonus. If you got both the questions right you will achieve the maximum amount of points for your team. If you get the main right but not the bonus your team will get ten points, but if it’s the other way round and you only get the bonus right your team will get five points. Team St Peters used there time wisely and split there team in half so some were on the bonus and the rest were on the main. St Peters came in third place out of six schools which is really good as half of the schools weren’t even mentioned. We all got medals to share with our families at home.
