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...
In maths this week, we have been learning to compare numbers to 100. We have used base 10 equipment to make numbers by identifying the tens and ones. We have then used the greater than, less than and equal to symbols to compare the numbers...
This week in Year 2, we have been learning about position and direction in Maths. We used our understanding of positional language, such as left, right, forwards, backwards to complete multi-step problems. We also thought about turns.

This week in Nursery, the children have been continuing to explore numbers to 5 and beyond. They are beginning to use a five and ten frames to represent different amounts. They did a great job at recognising numerals and focused on counting the objects carefully,...
In Maths, we learnt about equal groups and explored the different ways we could put 20 into equal groups using counters. ...
In Maths, we have been learning about unit and non-unit fractions. We have been learning to use the vocabulary "numerator", "denominator" and "whole" correctly. Using representations, we tried to explain why when the numerator is the same, but the denominator is different - the greater the...
In Maths this week, we started our measurement unit; learning how to measure objects and converting between centimetres and metres and millimetres and centimetres. Children enjoyed going around the classroom measuring a range of objects using the appropriate measuring tools. Children were also given the...
In Maths this week, we have been learning about length and height. We have learnt some key vocabulary such as longer, shorter, taller and smaller to describe different objects. We have also been looking at measuring length and height using objects (such as cubes) and...
