NWG&T Masterclasses

Every day this week, pupils from Liverpool College have been involved in a superb programme of masterclasses in English and Maths, organised by North West Gifted and Talented, specifically targeted at high attaining students from Y2-Y6. In lockdown, it is imperative that our most able students continue to be stretched and challenged. Targeted one year group at a time, these video conference workshops allow academic students to meet other able students from schools across the North West, to work on tasks aimed to stimulate their intellect and develop their learning.

Below is a report from Katherine H (Y5) about the masterclasses:

I really enjoyed the virtual session this week. There were lots of incredibly interesting word problems. It was challenging, and that was the best part about it. We got to understand how word problems work, and how to use our ideas and imagination properly to solve them. I’m sure each time we do it it’ll get better and better. I love it so far. Some of the word problems I didn’t get at first, but thanks to the host’s help, I understood everything. It’s a really helpful masterclass and I’m glad that I was chosen to take part. It’s already helping my creative writing skills, and making my imagination grow stronger! I can’t wait for my next session! I’m very thankful to the Aileen Hoare, the host of the meeting.
