Today was Outdoor Learning day so we took our maths lesson outside. First we played a strategic game called Nim. The aim was to leave your opponent with one item in the pile and then they would lose. Some chuldren worked out the way in which you would always win!

After that we set about an investigation: Is there a correlation between your arm span and the distance you can throw a javellin?

Once we had measured our arm spans, we then measured the distance we could throw a javellin. We then looked at the ratio between those numbers and the difference. We concluded that there wasn’t a correlation but it was dependent on how much “umph” you used!

We finished the morning off with creating chalk patterns inspired by the artist Mondrian.
