As part of our topic on time this week we have been looking at calendars. Pupils worked in pairs with a class list (inlcuding birth dates) and had to work out, using their calendars, which
day each pupil's birthday was or will be this year. Sounds easy right?
Well, we made it a little bit harder than that. Not only did pupils have to read the calendar pages carefully, work out from the class list the exact date and month and remember how many days were in each month, they also discovered that their calendars weren't complete! Some had whole pages missing......
Some groups just had a few pages of their calendars! Look - one's ripped in half!
Some pupils were left with just scraps of ripped up calendars!!
Class 4 had to use their best investigative skills to work out the most efficient method of working out the birthdays. Mr Sturgess was very impressed with how hard everyone worked on this, as well as the excellent achievement by
all of the pupils.

What an excellent idea for an investigation! Trust Mr Sturgess to make it really hard for you, but you all coped brilliantly.
