They joined forces again for a letter hunt on the field, where in groups of four they had to collect enough letters to make the longest word and as many words as possible.  The winning team with the longest word had an 8 letter word - Gabriella.

Year 5
They planned and taught a problem solving lesson for reception, created their own treasure hunt for Year 3 and used their mathematics skills to solve the Murder at the Movies! The girls also made structures using spaghetti and tape to be strong enough to hold a marshmallow.

Year 6
Year 6 have had an amazing problem-solving week.  It started with a team building event, where the girls had to build the tallest tower they could, using 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 metre of string and 1 metre of masking tape.  The only catch was the structure had to be free-standing and be strong enough to hold a marshmallow!  

They very fortunate on Tuesday and Wednesday to welcome Nav and Uma from Ninja Coding to Year 6 for a coding workshop.  The theme was 'The Big Idea' and Uma and Nav covered topic areas such as entrepreneurs, inventions, patents and business plans.  In the afternoon sessions, on both days, the girls went into the ICT suite and did some coding.   It was a fantastic couple of days and the girls learned so much.  

On Thursday, Year 6 researched some real-life female problem solvers.  Each group had to produce an A3 poster and a presentation about their inventor.  The girls thoroughly enjoyed this activity and produced some amazing work.  

Finally, on Friday, the girls investigated a problem involving shadows as part of their science topic and problem-solving week.  Using cocktail umbrellas and homemade sun beds, they had to see how the position of the sunbeds would change throughout a typical day by the pool.
