Today in first class we celebrated Maths Week by going on a math hunt around the school! We found different 2D shapes, lengths, numbers and worked out our speed while running and doing jumping jacks. we had to unlock all of these challenges together as we moved around different areas of the school , it was so much fun!  

We got a great start to Maths Week in first class by finding 2D shapes in the classroom. Each group got a different shape that they had to search for in the room! Take a look at what we found: We then made some 2D monsters with the new shapes we had learnt about. Take a look at our creations:

This year, as we can’t be in school, we are asking all students to take part in the Mini World Cup at home. All you need to do is to record yourself scoring as many penalties as you can in 30 seconds and send them to the school mobile phone through WhatsApp. Your score will be added to others on your team from different classes. Don’t worry if you haven’t a ball or goal, we show you in the video below how to do it without them. PLUS WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST SHOWING PADDY HOW IT’S DONE! Get your videos into us before Saturday night – and best of luck!
