This week in Nursery we have been number detectives! We went for a walk around school and found lots of numbers. Some were up high, some were down low and some were very tiny but we were still able to spot them! What numbers can you see? Do you recognise Read more…
Today Class 5 have been investigating symmetry in 2D shapes. We had to use a mirror to help us find the line of symmetry and then draw it with our ruler. We found out that some shapes have more than one line of symmetry.
Class 6 are learning how to identify 2D shapes according to their properties. Some of us went on a walk around our school environment today to see what shapes we could see. Look closely at our photographs – can you see the shapes we spotted? What 2D shapes can you Read more…
Today we used the Cuisenaire rods to investigate fractions. Mrs Savage asked us to find out which colour rod would be worth 1/2 if the red rod was a whole. We used our knowledge of equivalent fractions to help us to solve this and many other fraction problems.
Today we’ve been on an algebra treasure hunt. We had to substitute the given values into the algebraic expression and work out the answer to find the next clue in the treasure hunt. It was fun!
We have been practising counting beyond 10 and looking closely at teen numbers. We have been counting and making teen numbers using numicon, looking carefully at the digits and understanding what they mean. Here some children have been making teen numbers independently in our Maths area.
We have been reading Mr Wolf’s Pancakes. We enjoyed listening to the story on the CD player and finding out about how to make pancakes! Mr Wolf’s neighbours were very unhelpful but we were keen to help him make the pancakes and gobble them up! Thank you to those parents Read more…
Today, the children in class 4 have been partitioning two-digit numbers into tens and ones. They looked closely at the digits and worked out their value so they could correctly make the number from the base-10 equipment. Filip even challenged himself by partitioning 100.
Class 3 have been problem solving this week in Maths. The children had to read the clues, they then ordered the clowns to see what position they would finish in the race!
