We’ve just wrapped up an incredible week of mathematical magic at Fielding as part of Maths Week London 2025 (23rd June-27th June 2025)! The school was alive with numbers, shapes, patterns, and problem-solving from Reception to Year 6. Here's a quick look at what the week included:
 

🗓️ What Happened This Week?

• Daily playground challenges: From shape hunts to estimation stations and problem-solving relays.
• Library maths zones: Children explored 3D shapes, measured distances using cubes, and tackled real-world maths problems.
• Soft start activities: Each morning began with engaging maths tasks to get brains buzzing.
• Computing sessions: Pupils explored Purple Mash’s Maths Week London activities and competed in the TTRS London Rocks Tournament.
• Story time maths: Year 1 enjoyed a maths-themed story session with The Great Pet Sale.
• Creative class challenges: Every class designed a maths-based playground game for our whole-school competition.
• Celebration dance party: We ended the week with a Maths-a-thon Boogie—a musical celebration of maths through movement, pattern, and rhythm

🎉 Maths-a-thon Boogie!

To celebrate the success of the week, we ended with a giant dance party—the Maths-a-thon Boogie!
With music inspired by numbers, shapes, patterns, position, and direction, plus tracks from our very own TTRS platform, it was the perfect way to send Maths Week off with a bang.
And yes—staff joined in too! 💃🕺

💬 A Final Thank You

Thank you to all the staff, pupils, and families who helped make Maths Week London such a success. The children were full of math-thusiasm, and we heard more than once:
“I wish it was Maths Week every day!

Here’s to keeping the love of maths alive all year round!
