The<br />

second half of this academic year has been very exciting<br />

in the Maths Department. After the phenomenal success<br />

of the Junior Maths Challenge in April <strong>2016</strong> (as previously reported<br />

in the spring publication), where Harit Boonyarakyotin in year 8 and<br />

Haroon Lukka, Abinayah Kagenthirarasa, Ehsan Ayobi, Taranjeet<br />

Bharaj and Ahmed Ali in year 7 all achieved Gold Awards and year<br />

8 received a further 14 Silver and 22 Bronze Awards and year 7 received 9 Silver<br />

and 12 Bronze Awards. Harit, Haroon, Abinayah and Ehsen’s scores were so<br />

high they were entered for the follow-on competition, the Junior Kangaroo, and<br />

Haroon went on to win a Merit certificate. The Maths Department would like<br />

to congratulate all students who participated. We are very proud of all of you.<br />

In July <strong>2016</strong> students from across years 7-10 took part in the Maths Department’s<br />

activities during the school activities week. Students enjoyed a variety of<br />

activities, including visiting the British Museum, measuring the height of<br />

Nelson’s Column, building a theme park with K-nex, creating tessellation<br />

artwork for the A block staircase and navigating their way across London while<br />

finding out about our city’s cultural history.<br />

To end the year on a high, on Friday15th July <strong>2016</strong>, 10 year 10 students<br />

attended maths lectures at Kingston University where they discovered about<br />

the fascinating mathematics behind chocolate fountains (and then they got to<br />

eat the chocolate) and learnt more about the history of numbers as they were<br />

challenged to answer the question ‘did numbers always exist, or did humans<br />

invent them’. I was very proud to see our students joining in with and thoroughly<br />

enjoying these lectures and was delighted when one of them told me that it had<br />

‘blown his mind’<br />
