At Seahouses we work hard to promote the importance of maths.

Outdoor maths is important for increasing confidence and motivation. 

It is important that children experience mathematical activities across a range of contexts and locations so we were so lucky to have Miss Cole organise a whole school maths trail in Alnwick. We were amazed to find that maths surrounds us everywhere we go. 

Throughout the maths trail we went on an angle hunt and shape hunt. We went into shops and worked out percentages, looked for symmetry, tessellation, found the total of price lists, worked out postal times as well as bus times.The list is endless!

Scroll through the photographs and see the 'reason' why we love maths! 

As the holidays approach there will be loads of opportunity to be outdoors. Here is a great website to help you promote maths at home.

We had a lovely afternoon out with our 100% attendance achievers today we played crazy golf at the Bunker and we drank hot chocolate with marshmallows. This was followed by ice cream at Pinnacles. Some of our ice creams were bigger than the heads of our younger children! Gracie in Y1 made connections to her kenning poem and said she was an 'ice cream licker'. 

We would like to say a big thank you to the Bunker and Mr Keenan for their generosity. We would also like to say a big thank you to George in reception for taking on the responsibility of putting all of the flags back in their holes. Take a look at the fun we had! 

"We had so much fun!" - Kenny

This week we were looking at responsibility and respect throughout the school. Congratulations to this weeks Seahouses Stars!
