Maths/puzzle workshop

Yesterday all the classes went into the hall to participate in a puzzle workshop at different times. Yr 6 and yr 5 went last and we had a lot of fun. We were split up into 10 groups. The puzzles were very hard because the leader of the workshop, Muffy, said you had to think outside the box. The first game was an iceberg which wobbled and you had to put as many penguins on it without them falling off. The second game was a puzzle map of a road and we all had 20 pieces. There was not to be any dead ends and roads leading off anywhere. The most challenging part of this puzzle, however, was that all pieces fit into each other on every side! The third puzzle were tubes and again you couldn’t make any dead ends. The fourth puzzle was a castle and you had a picture and 5 blocks with 3 umbrellas and you had to try and make it. The second last game was a hexagon shape and you had coloured shapes and the same colour couldn’t touch each other. The last game was a pattern puzzle and hardly any groups finished it, except mine. We had a great and puzzling time!
