17th of October  2018

At 9:00 me and Abbie went to Prestatyn high school to do a two hour math session. When I got in I was welcomed by an adult and was told to “follow Sam and Lily.” I said goodbye to my mum and followed Sam and Lily on the way to the classroom I saw Charlie K and William D. Seconds after I saw William D I got welcomed into the classroom and saw Abbie hastily swaying her hand to and fro. Knowing what she wanted me to do I shot through the air towards the seat next to her. In the flick of a lambs tail Mrs Gordon went around the tables asking for people’s names.

In a few seconds I got the first puzzle correct. The puzzle was to find the order of shapes with the given hints. In about 3 minutes of waiting and we got onto the second puzzle which was where we had to figure the height of the 9 pupils. I figured out 7 pupils heights but only because they were the same height. I didn’t see any other clues including them so I don’t know how the other people figured it out. In the middle of the three puzzles there were these two questions: the first one was if all the students stood on each others’ shoulders will we be able to touch the top of Snowdon. We were told we had calculators which we did. Then we were told to vote if yes, no or unsure 2 people were unsure 9 people voted no and 14 people voted yes.Then we were told to figure it out. The answer was 2700 because 1800 x 1.5, which was the agreed height for students, and the height of Snowdon is 1085 m.

The last thing we were told to do was a true or false list and on it we had to write why we thought that. After that she snapped her arm and pointed at the door and said, “Okay its time to leave, goodbye. I hope I see you again.” We (me and Abbie) shot up and slowly ran towards the door with every one else.

On the 17th of October  2018 me and Ben went to Prestatyn High School to do a maths lesson.

We were with the teacher, Mrs Gordon, in a year nine class. In a blink of an eye Mrs Gordon went around the tables to ask our names. I knew my anxiety would make me say anything but my name, but I eventually answered, “Um um A-abbie.” She smiled at me and moved on.

The first question that we had to answer was a simple yet complicated question about putting shapes in the correct order. I knew the answer, I just didn’t know how to say it so I didn’t put my hand up. “Abbie!” said Mrs Gordon. I nearly exploded but I managed to say the right thing. The next question was quite hard though, it was all about height. We spent the rest of the day doing that.

At the end we did a question about whether we could all reach the top of Snowdon on each others shoulders. We got it right!

When Mrs Gordon said, “Alrighty class time to leave!” me and Ben dashed towards the door and bolted into my dad’s car.
