In maths, Year 6 pupils became detectives using their knowledge of ratio and proportion to solve a terrible crime: a multi-million pound bank robbery. After working out how much each criminal had stolen, an adequate sentence had to be determined based on the proportion of money they had acquired. Methodical and accurate working were key along with plenty of patience. Watch out Sherlock Holmes!
