🦇☕ Welcome to the Vampire Café! 🧛♀️
The Little Study Spot has had a rather spooky makeover last week! 👻🕸️
But behind the cobwebs, cauldrons and creepy decorations, there was plenty of maths happening! 🤣
My Year 5/6 pupils stepped into the Vampire Café, where they put their maths skills to the test through:
🧛 Long multiplication – tackling calculations with larger numbers.
🩸 Calculating café bills – applying their maths skills to real-life situations.
🕷️ Problem-solving – working out which calculations were needed and explaining their thinking.
I absolutely LOVE creating themed sessions like this because they give children a reason to use the skills they’re learning, rather than simply completing another worksheet.
And sometimes, children don’t even realise just how much maths they’re doing when they’re busy having fun! 🥰
Learning doesn’t always have to look like traditional learning. Sometimes it looks like a Vampire Café, complete with spooky drinks and a few friendly ghosts! 👻💗
