During maths week, I had the joy of taking a fabulous group of Y5 mathematicians to Hoyland Springwood Primary School for a gaming tournament run by Imagination Gaming. During the morning, the children were introduced to four different board and card games, each with a maths element. In the afternoon, they then competed against the other schools (Springwood and Park Street), scoring for each of the games they played. It was a great opportunity for the children to mix with others, to learn how much fun board and card games can be (who needs a games console?) and to apply their mathematical skills in a different context. Everybody (children and adults alike) had a thoroughly enjoyable day! Plus,not only were our team victorious, but one of our boys was the individual winner!
A big thank you to Hoyland Springwood for organising the day, to Imagination Gaming for running it, and to the wonderful Y5s for throwing themselves into it so well!
