Code breaking in Reception

In maths this week, Reception have been learning about finding parts of a whole. 

We used this knowledge to crack a code to open a very heavy padlock that was attached to a mysterious looking book! It was a little tricky as some codes had more than one answer...

"5 is the whole. 2 and 3 are parts of the whole but so are 4 and 1! We have to try 2 and 3 and then 4 and 1 to see which answer is going to work!"

Together we cracked the code and discovered that the book was all about a pirate's secret treasure... we are still on the lookout!

We even got some police officers on the case
to ask passers by about any treasure sightings!
