This week, year 5 has been using the hands-on learning approach to understand equivalent fractions. We folded strips of paper into, halves, thirds, quarters, sixths, eigths and twelfths. We created a fraction wall using the strips of paper and used this to find as many...
This week in year 6, we have been practising multiplying fractions with whole numbers. We have also applied our knowledge of multiplying fractions to reasoning and problem-solving questions. In English, we have been analysing recount texts and have planned dour own recount based on the...
This week in Year 1 we have been exploring part-whole models. The children used stem sentences to explain how their number was composed. They enjoyed using practical objects to identify the parts and wholes and create their very own part-whole models.

Marvellous Me - Creativity We continued to add to our diorama this week, each child has a mirror to see their reflections, decorated with their favourite colour foam, gems and feathers. Marvellous Me- Maths - Measures This week we have been working on the measures of weight and...
In year 6 this week we have been honing our arithmetic skills. We have been learning how to use the expanded method of short division to help us when we move onto long division. In art we have continued to develop our drawing skills, copying...
In Maths, we have been focusing upon understanding numbers to 1000. We have learned that the value of a digit is because of their place in a number. We have been partitioning numbers into hundreds, tens and ones. 471 = 400 + 70 = 1, ...
This week in Year 4, we have been revising place value (the value of each digit in a number) and reminding each other that even though a digit can be the same, its value depends on where it is in the number. To practise and...
This week in maths we have been exploring numbers within 100. We used different equipment to represent 2-digit numbers including base 10, Numicon, bead strings, cubes and counters. We had to know the value of each digit within a number and work as a team...
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...
This week in Nursery, the children have been learning to compare heights using mathematical language. They built different towers using a range of building blocks, and used the words 'taller' and 'shorter' to compare. ...
