Puzzle Mania hits Witham!

 

‘Team-work’      ‘NEVER give up’     ‘Nothing’s impossible’    ‘Listen carefully’

 

On Monday 8th February, all children from Reception to Year 6 got a chance to take part in a Puzzle Day run by ‘The Happy Puzzle Company’. It gave a particularly brilliant start to Pre-Prep’s Investigation Week. Peter Keegan thrilled us with activities ranging from 3D constructions of towers to match a 2D plan picture to balancing 25 penguins on a wobbly iceberg, and many more. The activities were designed to challenge and really make us think.  As you can see from the pictures, everyone was enthralled and learnt a great deal.

 

‘I really liked the spinning disc optical illusion because my friend went red, Thank you!’ Sophia

 

‘I learnt to always work together’ Toby

 

‘I learnt that nothing is impossible if you don’t give up!’  Clemmie

 

‘Peter was very interesting and his lateral thinking questions showed how important it is to listen’  Jed

 

‘It was fun and exciting – the hardest activity was the jigsaw with squiggly cut out pieces’  Billy

 

This is the best activity we have had at Witham!’ Mr Boswall

 

      

There was a Puzzle Shop in the Library but if having now heard so much about it, you would like to try some of the puzzles at home, the website is
