Year 5 - Multiplication
Today, Year 5 have been exploring multiplying two digit numbers by two digit numbers. The children used an area model to understand the place value within the multiplication to answer the questions. This helped the children gain a deeper understanding of the material; understanding the role that place value plays when multiplying by a two digit number.
Reception Maths - composition of 5
Reception have been finding different ways to make 5 using two colours and five frames.
Year 2 - P.E.
This week, we combined our knowledge of shapes from our maths work and our superb P.E skills. After warming up, we jumped into shapes and out of them ready for our landings. The children loved showing off new shapes they jumped into. Some shapes made it more difficult to land so it was important to be quick in and out of the shapes.
Year 2 - Maths
We have moved onto from 2D shapes to 3D shapes. This week we have been counting faces, edges and vertices on 3D shapes. It can be difficult to count without losing count or counting the same one twice. We have found strategies to make sure our counting is accurate.
Reception - Ordering Numbers
Reception have been working hard to sequence numbers 1-10. They have been using their counting skills to check which number comes next to ensure they are in the right order.
Year 1 Maths
Year One are focusing on numbers to 20. They have been identifying and representing numbers in many different ways for example with Rekenreks, Numicon, tally, ten frames and base 10.
Year 3- Maths- Multiply and Divide by 3.
Today, the Year 3 class progressed in their understanding. They explored the concept of division by 3, actively engaging in activities where they shared objects into three equal groups and grouped items in sets of three. Furthermore, they applied this knowledge by drawing jumps on the number line to solve problems involving dividing given numbers by 3.
Year 1 Maths- Using rekenreks
Year 1 have been working hard in their maths lesson this morning. They have been making 11, 12 and 13 using the rekenreks to help them to understand that these numbers are made up of tens and ones.
Reception: Snow much fun!
Our Ducklings loved exploring the snow today! They learnt how to make snowballs and we discussed the shape of them and how they look like balls we throw! We problem solved to build a snowman and enjoyed creating snow angels. The children loved throwing snowballs at Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Thompson! We had lots of fun!
Year 1-Using Purple Mash on the tablets
Year 1 have been using the tablets to complete their 2dos on Purple Mash today. They really enjoyed using the tablets in class and we’re looking forward to using them more in the coming weeks. They completed challenges linked with 2D and 3D shapes and linked to spelling common exception words.
Year 1 Maths- Repeating Patterns
This week, Year 1 have been exploring 2D and 3D shape patterns. They made their own repeating patterns using 3D shapes.
Year 4 - Maths: Finding Factors
Our multiplication and division topic is in full swing, starting with finding factors and factor pairs. The children used their times tables knowledge or made arrays to support their investigations.
