Year 5 Maths

Year 5 had fun during a recent maths lesson exploring co-ordinates in a creative and engaging way. Using their understanding of how to plot points on a grid, the children gradually uncovered a hidden message — it revealed the words "Year 5 are geniuses"

The activity challenged them to apply their mathematical knowledge while also drawing on several High Performance Learning values. They showed perseverance, carefully checking and adjusting their coordinates to ensure accuracy. There was plenty of collaboration too, as they worked in pairs and small groups, sharing ideas and helping one another through the task. Many also used their meta-thinking skills, reflecting on what was working well and tweaking their approaches as they went along.

It was a brilliant way to combine problem-solving with fun. Well done Year 5!
