Year 3 Maths- pounds and pence
Year 3 have revisited the topic of money today, looking at counting pounds and pence. Considering the value of each coin or note, putting them into size order, collating totals and comparing amounts to see which is the largest and smallest.
Year 4 - Using Years, Months, Weeks and Days
In Year 4, we have kicked off our Time unit comparing years, months, weeks and days. We used our hands to help us to remember how many days are in each month. I wonder if the class can explain this trick at home. Or maybe they can remember the rhyme: 30 days has September....
Reception - Measuring
This week we have been looking at measuring in maths. We used cubes to measure the height of the dinosaurs and then we practised using the words in taller and shorter to describe the dinosaurs.
Year 4 - Partitioning Decimals
In Year 4 maths lessons this week, we are continuing our work on decimals with partitioning. In this lesson we had to use the place value counters to find different ways to partition numbers containing decimals.
Reception- Repeating Patterns
This week in maths, the children have been learning all about repeating patterns. We talked about how a repeating pattern happens again and again. The children were able to use the maths cubes to follow the caterpillar patterns on the maths table.
Monday Maths in Year 2- Comparing Mass
Year 2 have been comparing the mass of classroom objects today. They first made a prediction as to which of the two items would be the heaviest before testing this out using the balancing scales. They then had the opportunity to test out items of their choice. Well done Year 2.
Year 4 - Science: Volume and Amplitude
In Year 4 this week, our super scientists have been exploring changes in volume and using a decibel meter to measure amplitude. They had to drop a marble on a drum from different heights and observing any changes in volume.
Reception - Maths - 2d shape
In Maths this week we have been learning all about 2d shapes. We worked on identifying and describing a circle, square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon and octagon. The children enjoyed playing the mystery bag game, drawing around 2d shapes and making patterns using shapes.
Year 1 Counting in tens
This week we are starting to look at multiplication by counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children have been using number squares to help them count forwards and backwards in tens from different multiples of ten.
Reception - Maths - 3D Shape
This week we have been learning all about 3D shapes. We identified and described a cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and a cone. We compared these to real life objects and tried to find things in our classroom shape hunt. The children enjoyed playing the mystery bag game, describing their shape for the group to guess!
Reception - Maths
In Maths this week we have been learning all about number bonds to 10. We discussed what we already knew about 10 and the children remembered that double 5 is 10 and that we can show ten quickly and easily using both hands. We sang the 10 fat sausages song and looked at the part part whole relationship of numbers that make 10. The children used ten frames to show numbers that make 10.
Reception - Maths
In Maths this week we have been learning all about number bonds to 5. We used monkey masks to act out the ‘5 little monkeys’ song and looked at the part-whole relationship of numbers that make 5. The children then used numicon to work out number bonds to 5. In provision, children had to find keys and padlocks that made 5 and they practised forming numbers in the glitter tray.
