Puzzle Challenge Day

On Wednesday 17 November all pupils in First and Second Years were visited by the Happy Puzzle Company and took part in a Puzzle Challenge Day. The day saw pupils enjoying a variety of puzzles to crack which actively promoted teamwork and perseverance as well as engaging them in logical thinking tasks. The pupils had a great time solving puzzle such as, placing 24 penguins onto a moving iceberg without falling off, which encouraged pupils to work together as a team. Another puzzle which tested their problem solving skills involved having to build a road out of a certain number of junctions in order to create a system of roads with no dead ends. The day was centred on perseverance which meant pupils couldn’t move on to the next puzzle until successfully solving the previous one. This made the successes (of which there were plenty) much more fulfilling!
