Have you ever wondered what hurricanes, the galaxy and the
number of petals on a flower have in common?
Well, some mathematicians in Year 4 spend an extremely interesting and
practical afternoon finding out the link between maths and the world around us.
As part of our regular Rushmoreable
workshops organised by Mrs Fieldgate, Newport children worked alongside pupils
from six other schools to examine number patterns. Using the playground as a
giant piece of paper, the patterns were represented in a series of golden
rectangles-expertly linked together by Alfie using brightly coloured chalk. Everyone
was amazed at the wonders of the Fibonacci sequence and everyone agreed that
“maths is everywhere!”. A very big thank you to Cranford Park for
hosting the workshop and more events are planned for the coming year.
