It may have been the last week of term but class 8 were still working their socks off just before we broke up for the holidays!

They worked with their partner to solve ‘magic squares’- tricky, missing number, sudoku-like maths investigations. Class 8 are not usually camera shy but they struggled to tear their eyes away from the problems- even for the camera -so not many faces in the photos!

Have a go at a magic square for  yourself. The aim is to find the ‘magic number’ and fill in the empty squares. The total of each row, column and diagonal is the same number. If you get stuck just ask your own member of class 8!
