Year 4 - Maths: Statistics
The Year 4 children have loved creating bar charts using data we collected in class. Drawing bar charts is a difficult skill to master, but the class have done really well with this.
Reception subitising to 3
This week in Maths, Reception have been learning to subitise. This means they can say how many objects there are without counting. They have done brilliantly at this and can subitise to 3. We also looked at the number blocks 1, 2 and 3 and the houses they live in.
Year 4 - Maths: 3D Shapes
The Year 4s love a practical lesson and today they enjoyed exploring 3D shapes and using questions to help them label and describe them. They then answered questions about 3D shapes set on LbQ.
Year 5 - Maths
During our maths lessons, Year 5 have been exploring more place value and understanding multiplying and dividing my 10, 100 and 1000. The children enjoyed taking part in the human place value chart and understood well the movement of the numbers when multiplying and dividing. The children moved onto understanding numbers in expanded form and used a variety of models to represent numbers in many ways.
Year 3 - Maths- Representing numbers and partitioning numbers to 1,000.
In Year 3, we've been learning about numbers up to 1,000. We used the base 10 system and pictures to help us understand how numbers work. This allows us to see that hundreds are ten times bigger than tens, and tens are ten times bigger than ones. We have also been practising making numbers differently to understand these ideas.
Year 2’s - Fantastic Friday
A great way to end the week! In Year 2, we had a Fantastic Friday full of exciting activities. We had a very tricky maths lesson where we looked at flexibly partitioning numbers. To partition numbers in different ways was difficult but the children made great progress. We will continue our work with partitioning at the beginning of next week. Before lunch, we enjoyed our daily handwriting and our focus now is to transfer our improving handwriting skills into our other work. The afternoon consisted of a great P.E lesson where we recreated movements from the story ‘Zog’. This was great fun and the children became very competitive. We saw who could jump the furthest whilst being able to land and balance with two feet. A lovely day to round off the week!
Year 1- Completing our Challenges
This week, Year 1 have been busy completing challenges in the areas. They have used their knowledge of the different animal groups to classify animals in the investigation area, completed number sequences in the maths area, used warm and cool colours to colour in pictures in the creative area, consolidated the sounds ‘ng’ and ‘th’ in the phonics and writing area, completed a jigsaw containing the 7 continents in the construction area and used their observations of the shapes and sizes of the continents to make them on the peg boards e.g. making Asia very big and Australia much smaller.
Year 1 Maths-Comparing Numbers
This morning, Year 1 have been comparing numbers using the greater than , less than and equal to symbols. They did amazingly well at using the language of greater than, less than and equal to within sentences such as 8 is greater than 5 and 5 is less than 8.
Foodie Friends Funtime Club- Years 3 and 4
Our young chefs from Years 3 and 4 made microwave peanut butter and jam brownies today in the Foodies Friends Funtime afterschool Club. The children worked in small groups and followed a recipe. They first discussed the importance of washing their hands and making sure the surface was clean to work on. They then carefully weighed the ingredients and made the mixture. They then poured their well-prepared mixture into a glass dish and popped it in the microwave for 5 minutes. They had an absolute blast and can't wait to come back next week.
Year 1 Maths
Year 1 have been counting forwards and backwards in their maths lessons this week. They have been completing unfinished sequences using their knowledge of counting forwards and backwards to help them. They have had to write the numbers as both numerals and as the written word. They have enjoyed playing true and false games such as, ‘Will I say the number 7 if I count forwards from 8?’ Or ‘Will I say the number 2 if I count backwards from 5?’ They have also had to solve problems such as, ‘What number will I not say if I’m counting forwards from 6?’ Or ‘What numbers will I say if I’m counting backwards from 2?’
Year 4 - On the Road to TTRS Rock Hero Status
In Year 4, we have been getting ourselves acquainted with TT Rockstars. We're ready to work hard and improve our times tables. All we need is regular practice and determination. Let's do this!

Year 2- Place value
In maths this morning, we continued to learn about place value and this morning we put our tens and ones into place value charts. To finish we played a card sorting game where we matched numbers to their correct base 10, tens and ones and addition sentence.
