This week we combined maths with our theme "Houses and Homes" The children acted as architects and builders to construct a variety of houses using 7 cubes only. The rule was the house had to fit on a square of 4 cubes.
Working in collaboration, the children investigated different types of houses and then they were displayed in the brand new street named Warner Crescent.
