Cross Curricular Learning
In Year 3 the children enjoyed applying their mathematical skills as part of a 'Hansel and Gretel' topic. They looked into how long it would take bread to be eaten when laid out on a path outside just as Hansel and Gretel did in the traditional story. They collected the data and presented their findings in bar charts. Well done Year 3.
