Last week, the whole school celebrated Maths Week.

Chao’s at the North Pole

P6 really enjoyed helping to solve their part of the Chaos at the North Pole STEAM Challenge.

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. We used skills from all these curricular areas to help Santa’s reindeers fly after the magic elf dust had disappeared. We discussed forces, friction and what makes things more aerodynamic.

 

Maths at work

We have been learning that maths is everywhere! Indie’s Dad, came in to talk to P6 about he uses maths in his job as a pharmacist. It was interesting to hear how he uses it to work out doses, cost and amounts of medicines.
