Another busy week!

October 4, 2014 by Caroline Reape

This week we have been enjoying the fine weather and went out on a maths trail.  We had to work in teams to answer maths questions based on the school environment.  It was brilliant fun and a great way to see how we use maths everyday and how it surrounds us in ways we don’t even realise.

We have also been learning about games this week.  By talking to parents, grandparents and teachers we learned about games children played in the past.  We loved learning about and trying games like Conkers, Red Lights, Giant Steps and Thread the Needle.  Skipping was very popular in the class too.  We learned some of the rhymes children sang while skipping like Cinderella, Skip To My Lou and England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales.
