With this fantastic Autumn weather we have had classes across school have been busy exploring their Maths outside. In EYFS this is key to our Maths learning and a chance for children to apply their Maths in hands-on contexts which are slightly different to the inside environment.

We had a fantastic time at the Inside Maths theatre trip on Wednesday with 45 Year 5 and 6 children. In this interactive and entertaining show the children were able to see Maths in real life weird and wonderful contexts which allowed them to see how Maths applies well beyond the classroom. We learnt about the stable structure of smoke rings, lots of magic tricks and enjoyed playing a game of Nim! Have you tried this simple but strategy-filled game?
