In Maths this week, we extended our understanding of tenths by exploring them on a number line. We used a range of concrete resources to help reinforce each pupil’s understanding of dividing a number line into ten equal parts, so they can clearly see where...
This week in Nursery, we have been looking at the length of different things. We have started to use the vocabulary – shortest and longest. One of the activities [gallery ids="19505,19506,19507,19508"] was rolling out playdough into a caterpillar and then comparing the lengths of them with each...
In the Meadow this week, our maths learning continued to concentrate on numbers 1 to 5. Children used bean bags to count and some children put the corresponding number of bean bags with the appropriate number. [gallery ids="19136,19137,19138"]...
Year Six have been learning about how to calculate the area of triangles and parallelograms in maths. We also started our learning on the volume of cuboids, which we learnt about through the use of manipulatives and pictorial representations. We formed our own cuboid structures...
In Design & Technology Year 3 have been investigating shell structures and looking at their purpose and design. We then explored nets before creating our own which we have used to make our own packaging for a healthy snack. This week we have used our...
In Maths Year 2 have been comparing number sentences with key terms, such as ‘greater than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’. [gallery ids="19109,19110"]...
This week we have been learning to identify and describe the properties of 2D shapes. We have been using lots of mathematical language and explored how many sides, corners and points each shape had. We then used the shapes to create transport pictures and used...
In Year 6 this week we have been learning how to multiply and divide fractions - dividing fractions involves the KFC method (Keep Flip Change). We then moved onto finding fractions of amounts and used counters to support us. In English, we have been describing...
This week, in Year 2, the children have been exploring how the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 can all be composed of two parts where 5 is one of the parts. The children used the rekenrek to represent 5 ‘and a bit more.’ [gallery ids="17387,17388,17389,17390,17391,17392,17393"] ...
This week in Nursery, we have have been using balancing scales. We have been comparing the weight of a range of objects and learning how to use the correct mathematical language to describe our findings. We looked at what happened to the scales when two...
