We have had a Roald Dahl problem solving afternoon. We have been reading Fantastic Mr Fox so he had asked us to help him plan a great feast! We had to choose items from the shopping list and work in a group to stay within a budget. We had to think about how many guests we had coming and how much we had to spend. We then had to add up the different items and calculate how much we had spent altogether. As a challenge Miss Mudd asked us to work out how much money we had left over. We fed our ideas back to the class.
We then had to plan where everyone was sitting. We got given some clues and had to make sure our seating plan followed the rules
‘Mrs Twit sits opposite Sophie’
‘James sits in between Matilda and Willy Wonka’
We found this quite tricky and had to show a lot of resilience. We had to try out different ways and change it if it didn’t work. We then went on to write our own clues for different groups and made it really tricky!
