In maths this week, year 4 have been finding the perimeter of polygons. They have used the features of regular polygons to calculate perimeter by using their times tables knowledge. For irregular polygons, they have explored different addition strategies to find the most efficient method. Calculatin
After a block of calculating, we are enjoying a couple of weeks getting stuck into measurement. We started this week revisiting the smaller units of length (mm and cm) and then extending this on to metres. Within measurement, we look at how to record measurement, how to measure something and draw
This week, our school has been buzzing with creativity, problem-solving and innovation as we celebrated STEM Week. Every year group took part in exciting hands-on activities designed to develop skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, and it has been fantastic to see our pupils thinking
It has been STEM Week in school this week, and Year 5 have been busy taking part in a range of exciting and hands-on activities. On Tuesday, the children were introduced to their Flying Vehicle challenge. They were tasked with designing a futuristic plane that focused on being quieter and more envir

The children became keen observers as they carried out a traffic survey, watching the dual carriageway from the school fence and using tally charts to record the different types of transport they
The children in Year 2 have been working hard to name and describe the properties of 3D shapes. They worked with a partner to look at common 3D shapes and to check whether their friend could name them. They were then challenged to count the number of faces and to recognise whether they were curv
