Year 1 Maths: Heavier or Lighter
Year 1 have started to explore mass of objects. They used the words heavier and lighter to compare objects. They compared lots of classroom objects as a team. The children could see that the heavier object went down in the scale and the lighter object went up.
Year 4 - Outdoor Maths
This morning Year 4 have fully embraced this lovely sunshine and completed our ordering decimals lesson outside. We decided if decimals were in the correct order using ascending and descending variations. The children then used the place value counters to create their own examples for their talk partner to complete.
Year 1 Maths: Measuring with Objects
Year 1 used objects such as cubes, paper clips, dominoes and counters to measure different classroom objects. The children had to make sure that the objects were aligned and they did not leave any spaces between the objects that they were using to measure. The children measured glue sticks, pencils, rubbers, whiteboards etc.
Year 3- Maths- Exploring Mass and Scales
Building on what the children learned in Year 2, we have started our unit on Scales and Mass this week. While the children already know about grams and kilograms, they are now looking closer at how to read different types of scales accurately. We have also been practicing how to convert between units, remembering that 1 kg = 1000 g. We talked about how we still see these scales today, like when weighing fruit and vegetables at the supermarket. This week’s learning is helping the children become much more confident at weighing objects and comparing masses on their own.
Reception Maths - Odd and Even
This week in Maths we have been introducing odd and even numbers. We looked at the numberblocks, splitting them into two groups of ‘odd blocks’ and ‘even tops’ - we looked carefully at the shape of the number blocks to help us to identify if they were odd or even, noticing the doubles that could be seen in the even tops.
Times Table Rockstars Champions
A huge well done to our KS2 Times Table Rockstars champions for this month! Congratulations to: Charlie G – Year 3 Isabelle – Year 4 Charlie – Year 5 Isabelle – Year 6 A special shoutout to our class winners too: Lower Key Stage 2: Year 3 Upper Key Stage 2: Year 6 A Fantastic effort by everyone—keep rocking those times tables!
Reception-Maths - Weight
Today in our Maths lesson we talked about weight and what it means when things are heavier and lighter. We used weighing scales to prove which items were heaviest and which items were lightest and which we could balance because they were equal. The children really enjoyed testing different objects such as stones, shells and pom-poms.
Year 6 - Measuring Angles
Today in Year 6, the children focused on developing their understanding of measuring angles and calculating missing angles within triangles. Using protractors, they worked carefully to measure angles with increasing accuracy and precision. The class applied their knowledge of the properties of triangles, knowing that angles within a triangle add up to 180°, to solve a range of problems. The children demonstrated great focus when aligning their protractors correctly and reading scales accurately, showing a growing confidence in their mathematical skills.
Year 1 Maths: Counting in groups of ten
Year 1 helped to work at a sorting factory. They had a variety of different objects such as beads, cotton wool and straws. They had to fill up as many ten frames as they could and leave any extra ones to the side. To count their number, they counted in tens for the full ten frames and then added the ones. The children absolutely loved sorting these objects and it allowed them to practice their counting skills.

Year 3- Maths- Greater Denominators, Smaller Pieces
In our Maths lesson today, we explored the logic of comparing fractions with the same numerator. We visually created fraction sheets and imagined they were bars of chocolate to help us understand that a "bigger" denominator doesn't necessarily mean a "greater" fraction. In fact, we discovered that the more people you have to share a chocolate bar with (the denominator), the smaller each individual piece becomes! By the end of the session, we were able to conclude that when the numerators are the same, the greater the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
Reception Maths - Making 7
This week in Maths we have been thinking about all the different ways to make 7. The children explored this in relation to our story this week ‘The Birthday Crown’ where they thought of different ways they could arrange 7 jewels for the Queen’s crown.
Year 2 - Maths - Longer or shorter than a metre?
Year 2 estimated whether items were longer or shorter than a metre and then checked their answers by using a metre stick.
