On Wednesday 10th June 2015, the upper school took part in Numicon workshops. This allowed the children and teachers to become more familiar with this new maths resource and discover ways in which it could be used to support and further develop their mathematical knowledge and skills. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed using the new materials and can’t wait to incorporate and adapt the activities in their daily maths lessons.
