Children’s Mental Health week and Numeracy Day

Year 6 have been busy today learning about the Fibonacci sequence in Maths and then creating artwork inspired by the sequence.

Firstly, the children started by drawing one box on square paper. Then another box was drawn according to the sequence. Eventually, creating boxes of increasing size next to each other, you can create a perfect spiral. The sequence is found by adding up the two numbers before the first number:

● the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1),

● the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),

● the 5 is (2+3),

● and so on!

It is also Children’s Mental health week so this was a mindful activity that the children worked really hard on.

The results were fantastic!
