Mathemagician

As part of the College’s collaboration with local primary schools we invited mathemagician Andrew Jeffrey to Archbishop Beck to deliver an exciting show of magic and maths for mathematically gifted students in Year 5 from Blessed Sacrament, Holy Name and St Francis de Sales. In the afternoon Year 7 students at Archbishop Beck were treated to the performance too. The students were entertained by Andrew’s funny routine that included magic squares, sleight of hand, mind reading, card tricks and much more. Speaking after the workshop, Andrew commented on his second visit to the college and the enthusiasm and mathematical ability of all involved, and the ‘real buzz’ that he got from the school.
