Year 2 - Maths
This week in maths we continued to practise our addition. Today we consolidated our work on adding through 10. This can be tricky when you have to add past 10 but our games help us to keep practicing. We discovered the key to making it easier is ensuring we know our number bonds to 10. We will move on to subtracting next week.
Year 4 - Maths: Area
Our Maths in Year 4 this week focuses on area. We began the topic by creating shapes with a given area using post-its. We used our post-its to solve challenges. This practical method of learning helps us to retain important knowledge and enables us to calculate area in abstract situations.
Foodie Friends Club- KS1
Today, the children had a blast creating their delicious chocolate chip cookies. We started the baking adventure by measuring the flour and sugar separately. Some children took turns cracking the eggs and skillfully blending the ingredients until the mixture became light and fluffy. After we mixed the dough, we made little balls and baked them in the oven for 10 minutes. They were very giggly when they saw that some of the cookies had stuck together.
Year 2 - Maths
In maths this week, we moved on from fact families to 10 and looked at fact families to 20. This was quite tricky but the children did really well and grasped the concept quickly. We used Rekenrek’s so we had a visual representation of the fact and then used it to write out number sentences which created the fact family.
Year 1- Solving additions within 10.
This week, Year 1 have been solving addition problems within 10 using their ten frames and completing a challenge involving number bonds within 10 using dominoes.
Year 2 - Maths
This morning in maths, we recalled our number bonds to 10. The children used ten frames and counters to represent their number sentence and wrote it alongside. We then applied our knowledge of number bonds to 10, to answer questions that were trying to trick us. However there was no fooling us as the children knew exactly what they needed to do and solved the problems. We will be moving on to fact families to 10 and 20 in our upcoming maths lessons.
Year 4 - Maths Problem Solving
In Year 4, we have been solving problems by breaking them down into smaller steps. We used trial and improvement to come to a plausible conclusion that fit the given criteria. The children loved that it was a problem about aliens too.
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.
