Year 5 enjoyed their outdoor learning yesterday!  They observed the clouds, listened to the nature aroud them (including a cheeky robin who visited the willow!)  and sourced some natural materials to help with their Maths equations work later on.  After trying this introduction to the idea of Algebra in their books, Year 5 returned outside to form their equations!  Using a key, where a leaf represented 1 and a stick equalled 5, the children worked in pairs to demonstrate how the materials from the key could be laid out as a sum, using chalk to write in the functions and the answers.   Well done Year 5!  You were amazing!  Mrs Blomeley
