Early one morning, Year 6 came into school and discovered someone had made a mess in their classroom; the person left a note, which had got wet.  Therefore, they decided to become budding detectives. The used a variety of apparatus to separate the mixtures on the tables in order to clear them up. Once they had cleared up the mess, they use their skills in chromatography to find out what pen was used to write the note.

This term, we wanted to create our own board game. Taking inspiration from the famous game ‘Guess Who’, we talked about the main features; we came up with the idea to create a maths game to improve our knowledge of place value and named it ‘Guess My Number/ What’s My Number?’. Following this, we created a prototype of our board game. To make sure our prototype was functional and appealing to children of our age, we created flaps (moveable parts) and stops.
