Reception- Map skills
Today we looked at a map from our visit to Blackpool zoo. We discussed the features and what we found. We then gathered our own resources to make a messy map. The children shared this with Mrs Ham and Miss Ashworth and explained how to follow it. Super work!
Year 1 Maths- Telling the time to the hour
Today in Year 1, we have been telling the time to the hour. We read and made o’clock times and had a go at drawing the hands on clocks to represent various o’clock times. We even had a go at matching daily events and activities to the correct times e.g. bedtime at 7 o’clock and starting school at 9 o’clock. Well done Year 1.

Reception Making 10
In Maths, Reception have been focusing on how to make 10 in different ways. They have been using the Numicon to find different pieces that fit into 10 and have been looking at ten-frames to support their learning. They have done amazingly well and can now remember lots of different number bonds to 10 without help! Well done!
Reception Treasure Map Making
As a part of Understanding the World in reception, the children have made a treasure map of our outdoor yard using natural recourses and loose parts. They were amazing at telling us where each area was located in the yard and finding the right materials to represent each part.
Maths- Year 5
This week in maths, the children have been identifying different types of angles and measuring degrees. Today, they were introduced to protractors. They began by measuring angles less than 90 degrees by careful placing the protractor on the baseline and starting at 0 on the inner scale and following it round until we see the line of the angle. They then compared their answers with their partners.
Year 1 Maths- Sharing equally into groups
This morning, Year 1 were introduced to the symbol divide and have been sharing counters and cubes into equal groups.
Year 1 Maths- Making Arrays
Today in maths, Year 1 have been making arrays.
Reception Counting
Reception have been learning how to use counting strategies to help them count irregular arrangements. This week they have been counting the farm animals who are all in a muddle. They have learnt that to count objects that can’t be moved, we must ‘tag’ them by circling them or putting a mark on them to help us remember which ones have already been counted. Well done Reception!
Year 1 Maths
Year 1 have been learning about identifying and making equal groups in their maths lesson.
Year 4 Are Rounding Rockstars!
The children enjoyed their maths lesson on the tablets today. They rounded numbers to the nearest 1, 10 and 100 on the Rounding Rockets game. I’m sure they’ll all agree it was great fun!
Year 1- Exploring Volume and Capacity
Today, Year 1 were introduced to volume and capacity. They had to fill the containers with the correct volume of water to match the following descriptions: full, empty, nearly full, nearly empty, more than half full and less than half full.
Money Matters Visit
Today Year 6 welcomed a visitor into their classroom, Mr Souter, who led a session around budgeting. Here year 6 took part in class discussions around, wants and needs, understanding the importance of having a ‘surplus’ income and what can happen if we overspend. Year 6 were very mature throughout, asking relevant questions and will hopefully use this information wisely when it comes to their own spending/ saving.
