Mental maths (As in...... totally mental!)

Here are just some of the outcomes of a rather tricky maths activity year 5 carried out today.

For your information: Plan view = view from directly above shape. Front view = view from the front of shape. Side view = view from the side of the shape.

The children had to use a set of diagrams to create different multilink shapes replicating the plan, front and side views of the shapes. Sound complicated? It certainly was! But we refused to admit defeat.

Fr Joe O'Connor enlightens Year 5!

Some of you may know Fr Joe O'Connor from different parishes around Blackpool. Some of you may know him on a personal level. Some of you, (older people!) may remember when Fr Joe was the Headmaster of St Cuthbert's School!

Well, Fr Joe recently took a trip down memory lane this term and came into class to answer some of our more difficult questions about the meaning of life and different events in the life of Jesus. We thoroughtly enjoyed his visit and are looking forward to him returning to St Cuthbert's.
