Reflections
This week in maths, class 12 have been drawing shapes which have been reflected. We played a relfection game to understand what happens to a shape or an object when it is reflected.

Working scientifically in class 7
Our new science topic is sure to be an eventful one as we look to take on lots of experiments by working scientifically. To kick us off, we focused on what it means to be a scientist, looking at fair tests, variables, predictions and results. As a first test, we Read more…

Money, money, money!
In Class 1 we have started learning about the different values of coins. We have been matching coins to their numerical values, sorting coins, and using coins in a range of role play situations from a grocery shop to buying tickets for a journey into space!

Regular and irregular shape investigation
Today we explored the concept of regular and irregular shapes and how to recognise them. To help, we used a joined piece of string and worked together to create both regular and irregular versions of different 2D shapes. This was fairly tricky when trying to make all the sides and Read more…

Measuring Angles
In Year 5, we have started our Geometry topic with angles. We began by understanding how to use a protractor to measure angles. We used our angle knowledge of acute, obtuse, right and reflex to support this. We then practiced drawing our own angles using a protractor and measured the Read more…

Problem Solving
Class 14 worked hard on a particularly cryptic reasoning challenge in Maths today. They needed to draw from their knowledge of algebra, measurement (conversion of) and ratio in order to solve this particular problem.
Class 11
Fascination with numbers through maths games
Children in Class 1 and 2 have been enjoying playing maths games this week such as top trumps, dominoes and spotty dogs. Children have been talking about numbers, comparing them, adding them and describing them.
Class 13
Measuring in Maths
Class 3 have been measuring objects using non-standard units in Maths this week. Today we used cubes to measure the length of different objects including rulers, lunch boxes and books. We took care to start at the edge of the objects to make sure we made an accurate measurement.

Olympic Ordering Decimals
Class 11 used their mastery skills and perseverance to be on the Olympic panel in Maths! Children had the decimal scores of a heptathalon event and had to order the scores of 10 Athletes. This was particularly challenging as some events were in ascending order (hurdles) and some were in Read more…
