We've been enjoying a Maths-themed day at Swan Lane today, with every class taking part in maths activities linked to the story '365 Penguins' by Jean-Luc Fromental and Joelle Jolivet.
In 3V, we have been trying to solve a fiendish puzzle involving six-sided Hexominoes. Children worked in pairs to try and create a perfect rectangle using a set of seven differently shaped Hexominoes. It was far trickier than it sounds! There was some great teamwork from all the children as they tried to solve the puzzle, and plenty of resilience shown when it didn't quite work out as planned.
In the end, we managed to find one solution - there may very well be more!
