Blanford St MaryChurch of England Primary School

Year 6 have been learning ratio...and their cheeky elf set them a festive challenge! After cracking the maths, they made their own hot chocolate cones to share with a loved one or give as a gift. This half-term's value is JOY, so we've encouraged the children to share their cones with someone special to help spread a little extra Christmas cheer - just as Miss West and Mrs Dolman have been doing too! Of course... it would have been rude for them not to test out the hot chocolate first (whipped cream is optional!). #primaryschool #education #maths #mathsproblem #ratio #elf #elfchallenge #festivechallenge #festivejoy #spreadingthelove #spreadingjoy #hotchocolate #marshmallows #hotchocolatecones #makinglearningfun #christmas #christmasmaths #christmasjoy #sharingiscaring #schoolreel #dorsetschool #happychildren #blandfordstmary #dorset
