May the (maths) force be with you!

Bedford had a very special visitor from Outer Space recently – an astronaut who came to deliver a Maths Tracker to every pupil in the school to help them make their mathematical journey through space and planets. Throughout the course of the school year every child will travel to various planets and face different maths challenges and learn new skills on each planet. Once they complete the skills on an individual planet they will receive a postcard from our astronaut telling their family they have landed on the planet and have learnt new mathematical skills. The astronaut also delivered some big, shiny gold stars for our ‘Maths Stars of the Week’ to go on the back of their chairs to let everyone know how well they have done.
