In our festive maths lesson today, Lower V and Upper V participated in the GCHQ Christmas challenge 2023, where we had to use a range of problem solving skills to complete given tasks to reveal a final word, which ended up being “Yuletide Felicitations”. This is understood as joyful expressions of happiness, which is what we felt after we  had completed the competition within a single lesson. This was a great opportunity to relax after a busy term, and we look forward to completing more of these types of puzzles in the future.
