Friday 9 May 2025
On Friday 9 May, thirty enthusiastic Year 9 students, accompanied by two Sixth Formers and staff, headed to Leeds for a day of mathematical exploration and problem-solving.
The first stop was Escape Hunt, where students were placed into mixed groups, each supported by a Sixth Form student or a member of staff. Their challenge? To escape themed rooms by working together and solving a series of puzzles, using logic, teamwork and, of course, maths! All groups managed to escape successfully, with Aban’s group achieving the fastest escape time of the day.
After the excitement of the escape rooms, the group moved on to Maths City, where students had the opportunity to explore interactive exhibits that demonstrated how maths applies to the real world. From geometry to problem-solving, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Miss Adamson also noted how fascinating it was to see the crossovers between Maths and Geography, adding another dimension to the day’s learning.
Overall, it was a fantastic and engaging day, filled with fun, learning, and a great sense of achievement.
