Primary seven pupils from across the city spent a day at The Wallace High School recently taking part in an innovative event encouraging a love of Mathematics.
The day long workshop, organised by Sentinus, is part of Wallace’s High STEM programme – three months of exciting events aimed at promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
The Primary Seven students were mentored by Wallace High School Sixth Formers who are studying Maths at A Level.
Wallace student Hannah Wilson commented, “We had a really fun day and our guests really enjoyed the range of problem solving activities which Sentinus had organised. I’m considering a career in Primary School teaching so it was a great opportunity for me to work with young people and help enthuse them with my love of Maths.â€
Taylor McLea from Knockmore Primary added, “It was an exciting day and a nice way to get to know people from other primary schools too.â€
Head of Mathematics in The Wallace High School, Bill Wilson, concluded, “I’d like to thank Sentinus for organising such an inspirational event – we hope all our visitors enjoyed their day in Wallace
