Abbie, Laila, Charlie L and Dominic recently attended a Maths competition at Wrekin College, competing in a range of tricky maths challenges against 50 teams from other schools across the region. Our teams performed brilliantly, finishing an impressive 18th and 24th out of 50 teams. The winners were teams from two independent schools from Birmingham and Wrekin Old Hall. What a performance Ruyton! Well done.
Our Year 4 children had a fantastic day at Lichfield Cathedral on Tuesday where they participated in a variety of activities with children from other schools as part of an ‘Inspire’ project by the Diocese. The day centred around the 50 year anniversary of the moon landings with children learning about the science of sound, the moon landings and also considering issues such as flooding – testing their teamwork and understanding of survival.
We are still buzzing with excitement today after a special visit from Steve and Kevin Morgan with their sidecar which they are competing in over the next week at the famous Isle of Man TT!
The children (and staff!) were excited to see the sidecar up close, hear its engine and ask their questions to Steve and Kevin who are both from Ruyton and are competing in this race for the first time.
A huge thank you to Steve, Kevin and our school governor Simon Gittins for making this visit happen and giving our children a brilliant opportunity. Good luck to Team Morgan; we will be following you and cheering you on!
