This week our classroom has been buzzing with builders, designers, and very determined problem-solvers! Pupils have been putting their maths skills of measure, length, perimeter,<\/em> and area into action through a series of creative construction challenges.<\/p>\n

They’ve worked in small groups to rescue Rudolph from a snowy field by designing mechanisms using K’Nex- turns out Santa\u2019s reindeer are in very safe hands! They then followed a design brief to create their own rockets (all strictly between 30\u201360cm\u2026 NASA would be impressed with their accuracy!).<\/p>\n

Applying their measuring skills, the class imagined and planned their own dream homes, using their knowledge of perimeter and area before bringing their ideas to life in 3D using LEGO.<\/p>\n

Throughout all of this, they have shown fantastic collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n
