Loanends Primary School P7 class has been placed first in the UK-wide 10ticks Mental Maths competition.
The school also held on to first place on the GLOBAL leaderboard for November.
The pupils answered an impressive 2185 questions each, on average.
The 10ticks Mental Maths competition is sponsored by Liontrust.
Loanends also won £500 to top up the school budgets.
During a visit to the school to congratulate the children, Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Billy Webb said he was delighted that the school achieved such an impressive score to win against all other entries across the UK.
“It was a pleasure to see how much fun they found the various 10ticks activities and I congratulate the children and the school on this wonderful achievement,” he added.
Managing Director of 10ticks, Ian Fisher said: “It’s great to see the uptake in Mental Maths. Many schools took part during November to battle it out on our top 10 leaderboard and reach the first, second and third prize winning places. The top three schools answered over 250,000 questions correctly! We hope the money can help relieve any financial pressures that schools may have faced over this difficult period”.
Sam Hyde, Loanends Primary School P7 teacher added: “We are delighted to have won the competition and I know how much the pupils enjoyed spending many hours, both in school and at home, practising their mental maths skills using 10ticks. I am very proud of all of them and it shows their commitment to the school and their fellow classmates”.
