The Happy Puzzle Company came for the third year running to St Edmund’s Catholic Academy, to provide some wonderful Maths games and challenges for our Year 7 pupils.

These puzzles and games were designed to help and develop maths and thinking skills, team skills, communication skills, logical reason and help to raise children’s expectations of what they can achieve.

Pupils enjoyed challenges such as the Penguin Iceberg, the road map challenge, and many more.

Sana Shakeel – Year 7 pupil said: “We couldn’t have completed the difficult tasks without working as a team.”

Serena Mayoudom – Year 7 pupil said: “It was a really good experience, I particularly enjoyed the illusions that Miss created.”

Ayaan Bukhari – Year 7 pupil said: “Nothing was impossible and I liked that we could all take part in solving these physical activities.”

Mr Morris Curriculum Leader Mathematics said:  “All pupils felt a sense of achievement at being able to tackle the seemingly impossible tasks. But through teamwork and perseverance they found strategies to succeed that will help them progress in their everyday lessons.”
