This week has been Maths week. We have been doing lots of mathematical activities, practical and problem solving?

Work has been moving on quickly today as the foundations for the new Year 6 block are laid.
How much concrete do you think they are having to put in the foundations? How could you calculate roughly how much is used?
We have a brand new games area for you that tests out your maths! It is called Sumdog.
Sumdog is a place where you compete in maths games against other students. It’s great fun so why not try it out, there are new games appearing all the time.

Here are two of the reports that we wrote to our Head Teacher, Mrs Stott:
