Problem solving and mapping outdoors

Today we returned to last week’s number square challenge and quite a few groups were delighted that we did as they were able to work it through fully and find a solution. Look at the delight and pride in these faces!

We then moved on to playing some mapping games remembering to hold our maps the correct way round, always making sure we know where north is.

 

Outdoor problem solving

Despite the constant drizzly rain all afternoon we all managed to take part and enjoy our first outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly.

After starting off with some literacy warm up games we worked in teams to solve a magic number square problem. Here are some photos of us working together and a video that captures some of our discussions and learning….can you spot our perplexed faces as we try to solve the problem?
