Pupils were tasked with completing the following sentence, "I love Maths because..." and qualifying responses were rewarded with an *I love Maths* badge. Here's why Year 7s Ben, Scarlett and Year 8 Leon love Maths: #### Ben... *because it feeds into everything and there are a lot of things you use maths for in everyday life.* #### Scarlett... *because I love to do maths and I think it’s really good so please could I have a badge as it is my favourite subject and I want to do maths every day.* #### Leon... *because it is fun and tricky at the same time. My Maths teacher, Mr Walker, is really good and he is very helpful if you don’t understand something.* **Now it's your turn:** Pupils that want to claim an 'I love Maths' badge should simply click the link below to access the online form (or check their year group Teams) and write Mr Sneddon a few sentences explaining why they love maths. The best responses from each year group will be selected and also featured here in our article. ![](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Penwortham_Priory_3463_Y8_Leon_Hayhurst_Oct_24.jpg) [Maths](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/maths) [Year 7](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Year 8](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-8) [ Mrs Cowell's Cookery Club - Year 7 Christmas tree pastries](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-12-05-mrs-cowell-s-cookery-club-year-7-christmas-tree-pastries) [A good hair day for Matilda ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-12-10-a-good-hair-day-for-matilda) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
