This week in Reception, we have been exploring the composition of 7 and challenging ourselves to see how many different ways it can be made. We used a variety of concrete resources to support us including numicon, blocks and of course our fingers! Today we...
Year 3 have had a very exciting week starting their new maths unit: Length and Perimeter. They used meter tape and centimetre rules to conduct investigations to see which unit of measure was the most efficient to use for different objects. [gallery ids="11542,11543,11544,11545"]...
This week in maths, Year 3 have been using arrays to help them divide 2-digit by 1-digit numbers with remainders. They have found drawing arrays extremely helpful to see how many groups there are and what the remainder is. [gallery ids="11462,11463,11464"]...
This term, Year 5's science topic is 'Properties and Changes'. This week we used scientific vocabulary to make tactile observations of the properties of objects hidden in a touchy-feely bag. After the objects had been revealed, we built on our categorisation skills from last week...
This week, Year 4 used place value charts and counters to multiply by 10 and 100. We learnt that we needed to move our counters to the left to multiply. We worked with our partners to see what we noticed each time, and were able...
Year 2 have been learning about money this week in maths. We have been looking at the value of coins and notes and discussed how me can find a total of an amount using the biggest value first. We know that money is used everyday! [gallery...
This week in reception, we have started to explore capacity and the concepts of full, empty and half full. We did experiments to see how much was needed in different size objects to be completely full and had lots of fun continuing the experiments independently...
On Wednesday, Year 5 used place value charts and counters to represent multiplication calculations as repeated addition. Where necessary, we had to utilise regrouping and add placeholders. We will build on this during the half term when we learn to multiply 4-digit numbers using column...
This week, Year 6 launched their first STEAM project of the year, with a focus on construction. In the design brief, the children were asked to create a periscope for a submarine that could have been used to spy on the enemy in World War...
This week in nursery children used 2D shapes to create their own shape pictures. We discussed and explored 2D shapes using mathematical language such as 'curve edge', 'sides' and 'corners' to form different pictures. [gallery ids="11104,11105,11106"]...
