Ski Trip 2013
The Royal Russell Primary Mathematics Olympiad is an afternoon of absorbing mathematical activity for gifted and talented Year 5 pupils from schools across Surrey. This year, twenty Junior Schools participated, with teams of four pupils competing in a carousel of written and practical problem solving activities, displaying very some impressive thinking skills in the process.
In the competition part of the afternoon, Newton Prep was the overall winner of the Olympiad Trophy, with Amesbury School runners-up and Oak Lodge in third place. Our own Junior School Team achieved a creditable ninth place.

Headmaster with pupils discussing Mr Eastaway's book
Pupils were then treated to a very enjoyable and interactive talk by Rob Eastaway on Mathematical Magic, including exploring magic squares and mind-reading cards. Rob is one of the UK's leading popular writers of mathematical books for a non-specialist audience.
