Gerrans School - The Maths Class

Oliver spent a lot of time making a pattern with the spiders before he decided to feed them with the fruit. Oliver is a very systematic child and to spend time doing this sort of thing is not unusual. What was surprising was the way that Charlie sat and watched what Oliver was doing without disturbing him. This is unusual. Big Wide Talk National team: this is obviously a good example of peer led learning. And another example of Gerrans' co-operative ethos. We are also delighted by the way these children fill up the available space and we are intrigued by the mechanisms inherent in the children's actions which protect the boundaries of Oliver's enquiry. There is such a lot which could be done from such beginnings.
