Marvellous Maths games

On Wednesday 30th May Amethyst class challenged Ruby class to play the maths games they had created during Numeracy. The children were given the task of producing a game based around the four operations. They could choose the format of the game. Some children based theirs on Snakes and Ladders, whilst other invented completely new games. They had to write a set of instructions, create counters and question cards and design the board.

The classes met and played the games together. Both groups of children thoroughly enjoyed spending time together playing the games and Ruby class thought that the games were great.

Facing Our Fears

The final day saw us all having to take a leap of faith and face our fears on the 40ft Abseiling Wall.  As we approached the wall, some of us started to get a few butterflies in our tummies and as we turned the corner and saw the huge wooden structure looming tall above our heads, many children were heard muttering the fateful words, “OMG!”  It really did look a threatening and challenging beast!  Some decided this was not the time to face their fears; some got harnessed up but didn’t make it to the ladder; some made it up the ladder but had to be rescued back down by Mr Pearson but the brave and adventurous succeeded in their bucket loads.  A few wobbly legs were seen shaking at the top as the children had to back themselves off the top of the tower and some children began their descent by trying to head butt their way through the wall!!!  There were a few ‘dangling spider’ techniques in action and some who fancied their chances as a future James Bond, jumping their way down the tower.  However, the overall abseiler extraordinaire was Aaron who managed to get from top to bottom in less than 5 seconds with a ‘free fall drop’ manoeuvre!!  Have a look at our heroic abseilers in the pictures below.
