On Wednesday 6^th February some lucky children from 5.1 and 5.2 got to go to the Maths Festival at the Centre For Life. There were six activities to do. The pirates, enigma coding, murder mystery then  lunch and  then we went on the 4D motion ride, did a 600 year old puzzle and space navigation. The pirates taught us about ratio and coordinates, enigma coding taught us about Alan Turning and his code, the murder mystery was about coordinates, the puzzle was about strategy, and space navigation was about differences and navigating. They ranged from hard to easy. The hardest by far was the pirates! You may have noticed that I said that we went on the 4D motion ride, well yes, it wasn’t all maths. The 4D motion ride was a twisty turny ride all over space. It was amazingly good fun and everyone really enjoyed the whole day.
