Nayland Nails It

I've been really impressed with the strategies that Nayland Primary pupils have employed in their puzzling sessions so far. The perseverance, analysis of the problem and collaboration between pupils has been excellent. What impressed me most was an idea from a child after I was telling one class of my desire to make a life sized version of Rush Hour. Having played Pete's Pike she suggested that she get 25 hoops from the PE shed and create a game board on the playground. Brilliant. She grabbed a few friends, had a little practice then the class came out to watch. I noticed that the puzzle was solved much faster than in the classroom proving that many minds make light work.
