This week, we have been learning to identify odd and even numbers. We represented numbers 1-10 using Unifix Cubes. We made each number using two parts joined together. We recognised the that the ‘flat top’ models were made of two equal parts (even) and the...
This week in maths we have been learning about long and short. At the beginning of the week, we investigated long and short dinosaurs. Later in the week we combined our maths skills and throwing skills to see who could throw their bean bag the...
This week in Year 4, the children have been learning to identify and name acute, obtuse and right angles. Through practical activities, they explored how angles appear in everyday shapes and patterns, giving them the chance to apply their knowledge in a meaningful and hands-on...
This week Year One have been exploring numbers to 100! We used dienes to help us identify how many tens and ones were in each number. We then used these skills to help us find one more and one less. [gallery ids="20726,20727,20728,20729"]...
Year 5 have been investigating complements to 1 for numbers with up to 2 decimal places. They used counters to make links between 1, tenths and hundredths in order to understand the corresponding number bonds to 1. This also enabled the children to understand how...
This week we have been exploring symmetry. We looked at images of symmetry in nature, then identified vertical lines of symmetry in shapes. We created our own symmetrical patterns and images using coloured cubes. [gallery ids="20548,20549,20550,20551,20552,20553"]...
In Mathematics this week, we have been learning about capacity. We have learned the words: full, empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty to describe how much liquid or sand is in the containers. We have learned to use cups or spoons to measure...
In year 3 we have been learning to add and subtract fractions with the same denominators. We have used bar models and part-whole diagrams to show different fractions. We have practiced using number lines to count fractions. We have also been learning to identify equivalent...
This week in the Meadow we have been exploring what different wild animals fur or skin might feel like and what it looks like. Children have enjoyed the sensory element of exploring the fur and skins of different animals (all synthetic). We have also enjoyed...
