This morning we had our whole school maths morning. We split and switched class to work with children from different year groups to learn and share ideas around problem solving maths. In year 2 we spilt with year 5 and in the year 2 classroom there were a few different activities available....

• building a house with a long chimney using pencils and rubber bands to join each side.
• Tangrams
• Sumdog
• Sudokus

Here we are having lots of fun!

Jacob is the big write star this week for his fantastic instructions. He described his ingredients for his marvellous medicine with super adjectives, layed his instructions out correctly with a title, subtitle, bullet points and numbers and used lots of interesting bossy verbs. Well done Jacob!
