Decorated Door Challenge

P6B voted to use the novel Birthday Boy by David Baddiel to decorate our classroom door.  We all had great ideas and worked really hard to create it.  We are thoroughly enjoying the story as well!

We had to work together  sharing ideas to work out the solution.  We had to use our knowledge of number, place value  and the four operations to identify the number.

Most of us thought it was very tricky but we persevered.

We studied the design of the Scottish Parliament Building and recreated the MSP Pods.

We made and cooked delicious pancakes.  We could choose butter, jam or Nutella to have on top.  They were delicious.
