Week 4 marked the grand finale of our family-learning series, combining coding, collaboration and multiplication practise in one energetic session.
Sphero Coding Challenge
Families programmed Sphero robots to travel “times-table trails” across a floor grid. Each child had to find their number after finding the answer from the challenge card, whilst working with a partner. The simultaneous focus on programming the robots engaged our pupils and families with the activity as well as deepening pupils’ understanding of multiplication as repeated steps.
Reflective Circle
To close the session, everyone gathered for a “What Went Well / Even Better If” discussion. Common successes were enjoyment with the games and spending time out of class with other pupils and family members learning together.
Celebrating the Journey
Across four weeks, families have explored digital tools, hands-on games and collaborative quizzes. Seesaw and Book Creator reflections captured steady growth in mathematical language and confidence, and parents now feel equipped to guide practise at home.
Next Steps
A short online form will gather final feedback to shape next year’s programme.
Thank you to every pupil & parent for making Play Along Maths such a success. Your enthusiasm has truly added up!
