numbers and they matched up with sums on flags which also had letters attached to them. By working out the tricky sums like 8 x 8 x 2 and 8 x 9 – 12 we were able to figure out which letter went where on our secret message. Andrew S and Katie were the winners and they were awarded 5 housepoints each! Robbie and Adnane came second and were awarded 4 housepoints. We had great fun – but it was very cold and we were quite glad to warm up back in the classroom!
