Everyone welcome! # Reception - Ways to make 5 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/A179F859-56EC-49F1-9B90-311D27EC002B.jpeg) 23 January 2025 This week, we have been looking at numberblock five and the parts it is made up of. We used the unifix cubes and two different colours to explore how we can make different towers of five. We could see that 1 and 4, 2 and 3, and 5 and 0 are some of the ways to make five. We know that the numberblocks are made up of lots of different parts which make a whole! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/A179F859-56EC-49F1-9B90-311D27EC002B.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3256.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-22-year-2-our-body-and-feelings) Previous ### [Year 2 - Our body and feelings](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-22-year-2-our-body-and-feelings) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8389_(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-24-rotakids-non-uniform-day-to-support-those-affected-by-the-la-fires) Next ### [Rotakids Non-uniform day to support those affected by the LA fires. ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-24-rotakids-non-uniform-day-to-support-those-affected-by-the-la-fires) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
