World Maths Day

We have had a great day at Wolston St Margaret's today as we have celebrated World Maths Day. The main focus for all of the children was on investigation skills, especially to develop mathematical reasoning. There have been a wide range of mathematical activities going on throughout the school and the children have had a wonderful time working together.

This morning some of our Year 6 children planned, organised and led a maths learning activity for small groups of our Foundation Stage children. Their questioning and interaction with the younger children was of an exceptional standard.

Our day ended with the whole school joining together in the hall to take part in a maths quiz devised by Year 6. They organised mixed teams of children from Year 1 up to Year 6 and put together appropriate questions for each year group. The competing children did a fabulous job and answered all of the questions accurately and often used instant mental recall!

A special 'well done' and 'thank you' to Thea, Bobby and Millie for organising and leading such a great day that was enjoyed by everyone!
