As part of Numeracy Week we had a whole-school challenge to help the elves. Our elf had been caught in a snowstorm and needed somewhere to shelter. The pupils had to make him a shelter to keep him warm and dry. We had to plan our shelter by drawing a diagram of what we wanted it to look like and list the resources we needed. We had to make sure our shelter matched the criteria the elves had given us.
- The shelter must protect the elf from the wind.
- The shelter must keep the elf dry.
- The shelter must stand on its own.
- The shelter needs a doorway to enter and exit.
