Themed Week – Maths is Magic

It was a pleasure to welcome back our families on Friday 11^th February 2022 for our Maths is Magic Exhibition afternoon. It was a very timely and fitting celebration of another fantastic themed week in which our children were able to work mathematically in a range of different contexts. Logic, reasoning and critical thinking skills were used to solve authentic problems, build on our resilience and have a little bit of fun! The feedback from children and parents alike has been overwhelmingly positive.

During this week we have:

• Enjoyed a magic performance
