Friday 8th December

On Monday morning of this week was our Viking museum. Class 3 and Class 4 joined together to organise how we should best display all of the wonderful Viking work we have done this term. We had a group of curators making sure everything was looking very presentable; a group of tour guides to help our guests find their way around the museum; various experts on all of the artifacts on show; receptionists ready to hand out tickets and maps to museum visitors and our managers who made sure everything in the museum was running smoothly. The museum made for a wonderful sight and all children should be very proud of their work. 

The four pictures above show our maths lesson from Thursday morning in Class 3, when we became maths detectives. The mysteries we were solving had a Christmas theme as we had to uncover which elf pinched a Christmas pudding from Mrs Claus' larder and, in a separate incident, which elf took a bite out of Mrs Claus' Christmas cake. Solving the mysteries meant working in teams of five doing different maths tasks that, when completed, would reveal certain clues about the guilty suspect. As clues were revealed, teams could eliminate more and more names off of their list of suspects until, finally, they were left with just one mischievous elves' name. Once teams had their answer they posted it in the golden box at the front.
