Our recent Maths Investigation Day was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop reasoning skills, collaborate with peers, and make connections to global topics—all while having fun! Reception explored creative ways to make numbers 1, 2, and 3 through hands-on activities like Beanbag Hoops, Animal Families, and Dot Investigators while Year 1 explored estimation and measurement by guessing and weighing dinosaur models. Year 2 linked their global topic on bees to maths by designing bee tangrams and investigating properties of 2D shapes. Year 4 tackled the Japanese puzzle game Sudoku, applying logic and perseverance to complete grids. Year 5 and 6 worked collaboratively on challenging domino puzzles, The day was filled with curiosity, problem-solving, and confident mathematical thinking!

Pupils across the school embraced the joy of learning with our much-anticipated Outdoor Maths lessons. Reception kicked off with active maths adventures, while Years 1 and 2 took part in our now-traditional Place Value Bootcamp—complete with sergeant chants, team games, and energetic challenges that brought place value to life. Years 3 and 4 embarked on a thrilling maths treasure hunt around the school grounds, solving problems to crack a riddle. Meanwhile, Years 5 and 6 tackled a spooky-themed Maths Escape Room in the Secret Garden, featuring pumpkins, bats, and a giant spider web! Working in pairs, they solved equations to unlock treasure chests and uncover hidden clues. These events are a celebration of our pupils’ hard work and enthusiasm for maths, and we’re proud to make learning both meaningful and memorable.

Congratulations to Faeqah, Vadaanya, Edward and Revan—our top scorers in the South East England Sumdog competition! We’re incredibly proud of all our pupils who took part, especially Year 3AH who ranked 11th across the entire region! A special shout-out also to Year 1JB for their fantastic effort. Well done, everyone!
