This year’s theme, 'Maths Everywhere,' encouraged pupils to explore mathematical thinking both inside and outside the classroom.

In their Forest School sessions, the Reception children took part in practical Maths challenges, using stones, sticks, leaves, pinecones and conkers to create shapes and count given numbers.

The Year 1 children learnt how to use tally marks to collect data and headed to the Headmaster’s garden and the Outdoor Classroom to tally objects they could see, such as trees, rocks and windows, as well as a few items of their own choosing.

The Year 2 children extended their learning of the jump strategy by taking their lesson outdoors and scaling up number lines to demonstrate jumps of tens and ones. They challenged themselves with both addition and subtraction using this technique. It was great fun, and they loved working together as a class.

The Year 6 girls took part in the Primary Maths Challenge and are eagerly awaiting their results. They also spent one lesson outdoors, posing questions, exploring the environment and estimating. They showed brilliant critical thinking in action.

Across the school, pupils also enjoyed taking part in the Times Table Rock Stars  'England Rocks' competition, challenging themselves to improve their speed and accuracy with times tables while competing alongside thousands of children nationwide.
