Adding all over the world!

How well do you know your number buns?
Class 3 had a great time on Tuesday when they took part in World Maths Day. Mathletes from all over the world had one day to complete the special acitivities hosted on the Mathletics website. We competed against children from New Zealand to Nigeria. Our Class 3 Mathletes put in a fantastic peformance and won many of their games.

As well as taking part in the online games we also had lots of other maths activities to challenge us. We had used our measuring skills to bake buns at home, we then decorated these in a maths theme to create our number buns.
A big thank you to the parents who had helped the children create their number themed outfits - we all looked fantastic.

Some of the most popular challenges involved the 3D and 2D shapes. The children worked in small teams to create the shapes using our construction materials.


Another Class 3 winner!

Although World Maths Day is over for another year - we still have our membership to Mathletics. All children in KS2 can access the site at school and at home, it's a great way to polish up those maths skills!
