Primary links with Birchwood
Year 6 students, from nine local primary schools, have been attending Birchwood to help stretch and challenge their maths skills. To conclude their time at Birchwood they showcased their work by building a truncated icosahedron decorated with all the maths they had learnt.
The winning teams were Northgate for decoration, St Michaels and All Saints for structure.

Back to School for Year 7 and 8 Parents
Birchwood’s Maths department held another ‘Back to School’ evening for Year 7 and 8 parents. Twenty two brave parents came along and took part in a carousel of Maths lessons ranging from Nth term to Pythagoras’ Theorem to Chinese Grid Multiplication. After an hour and a half, they left with minds bursting with useful mathematical knowledge and tummies full of tea, sandwiches and cakes.
Feedback was fantastic and we look forward to running the event again next year. Thank you to my Maths colleagues for making the evening possible and to Mr Kadlec and his catering team for providing the delicious refreshments.
Miss White, Maths.
