The weather wasn’t too kind to us today with quite a few surprise downpours while we worked outside. It didn’t dampen our spirits though and we worked well in teams to reinforce our understanding of rounding to the nearest ten.

After  that we worked on some magic number problem solving. Some groups worked really hard and moved on to a second challenge to create their own problem.

Todays’s outdoor learning session was really productive with lots of team work and mental maths practise helping us complete a variety of challenges. It was dry but really quite chilly so it was great to see everyone remembered warm outdoor clothes.

We started off on the journey out to the pitch searching for triangular shaped objects. It’s amazing how many you can find when you really look! We then gathered round the base in the shape of a triangle before playing some ball games to practise number bonds to ten.

After that it was time to use some sticks, shells, stones, cones and cards to solve problems and also create some number rockets. Here are some photos of our work today.
