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.
Year 2 - P.E. The Great Outdoors
Year 2 have been using our map reading skills to find times tables questions hidden in the school grounds. We then solved the times tables questions when we got back to the classroom.
Reception - PSHE - Money
In today’s lesson we talked about money, what it is, what we can do with it, where we keep it and how adults and grown ups make money. We looked at different coins in circulation and role played a shop keeper and buying goods. We even moved this to play with our little ice cream cart outside in the sunshine!
Year 3- Maths- Calculating perimeter of 2D shapes
This week, Year 3 have worked hard on their maths, focusing on calculating the perimeter of various 2D shapes. The children have been learning how to measure and add the distances around the outside of an object, and drawing their own complex shapes.
KS2 Timestable Rockstar Battle
A huge well done to our champions of this month’s Times Table Rockstars Battle! Our individual champions are: Year 6 – Luca Year 5 – Charlie Year 4 – Bobby-Ray Year 3 – Charlie A special congratulations to Year 6 and Year 4, who were our overall winning teams and claimed victory in their class battles. Well done to everyone who participated — your effort, enthusiasm and determination made it a fantastic competition!
Year 6 - Maths
Today, Year 6 focused on calculating the area of triangles. They began by carefully measuring the base and perpendicular height of different triangles using rulers, ensuring accuracy in their measurements. The children then constructed and labelled their own triangles, identifying the base, vertical height (altitude), and vertices. They applied the area formula: Area = base × height ÷ 2 We discussed why the formula works, linking it to finding the area of a rectangle and understanding that a triangle is half of a rectangle with the same base and height.
Year 5 - Money Matters
On Tuesday morning, year 5 learned about financial budgeting. They discussed the differences between wants and needs before thinking about different sources of income and expenditure. The children then practised making their own budget. The children welcomed our visitor into the school with kindness and embraced the opportunity to learn about how money matters.
Year 2 - Mastering Number (Maths)
In Year 2 we have been looking at the number 8 and which pairs of numbers when added together have a total of 8. We used Rekenreks to represent the number 8 and spot patterns more easily.
Year 3- Learning from the Experts- Early Pancake Day
Today, we welcomed professional bakers into school for a special pancake-making workshop! By watching experts at work, the children gained a fantastic insight into the hospitality and culinary industries. It wasn’t just about the flipping and the toppings, though; the children learned that to be a great baker, you need to be a bit of a "subject superstar." They explored how Maths is essential for measuring ingredients and timing, how English helps with following recipes, and how Science is the secret behind the perfect batter. The children found the pancakes absolutely delicious! We hope today has inspired some big aspirations and future dreams in our budding chefs.

Year 6 - Maths
Year 6 continued to develop their understanding of decimals in Maths, building both confidence and accuracy in their calculations. Using LBQ (Learning by Questions), the children worked through a carefully sequenced range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions designed to deepen their understanding.
