Reception to Year 6 Maths in Motion 27th March 2026 Academic Pre-prep This week, following the completion of our end‑of‑term maths assessments, pupils across the school celebrated their hard work with a series of collaborative and active outdoor maths lessons—a wonderful example of the Copthorne approach in action. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in a unique Place Value Bootcamp, led by Mrs Richardson, complete with a rousing place value “army chant” and a range of fun, physical games designed to build confidence and understanding. In Years 3 and 4, pupils worked together to solve maths problems hidden around the school in an exciting scavenger hunt, combining reasoning, teamwork and resilience. Our Year 5 and 6 pupils rose to the challenge of the much‑loved Copthorne Escape Rooms, where demanding mathematical problems required collaboration, communication and perseverance, helping some teams unlock the treasure sooner than others. These experiences perfectly reflect our belief that maths at Copthorne is active, inclusive and deeply rooted in collaboration and thinking.
