On Tuesday this week 4 of our year 6's took part in an online maths competition against 300 other schools from the South of England. They worked as a team to answer 60 questions, which they had to complete in either 30, 45 or 60 seconds. Some of the questions and tasks were incredibly difficult! Out of the 300 schools, only the top 30 went through to the semi-finals. Our team managed to come 17th out of the 300, and were even in the top 3 for a long time. They will now compete in the semi-finals in June. Well done team Grove and good luck next month!
