This week the children in Year 6 completed some maths work related to volume. To begin with, the children generated and learnt a definition for volume, ‘The amount of space a 3D shape takes up’. For the first lesson, the children enjoyed making 3D shapes with multilink and then finding their vol
In Reception class, we embark on an exciting journey of exploration through our ‘Plan, Do, Review’ process. During our sessions, we express our preferences by writing down where we would like to play. This method allows our teachers to support us in following our interests, extending our learning an

In one of our Maths lessons this week, we set the children a challenge. The children had to investigate different combinations of numbers to make 10. They were given some red counters, some blue counters and some yellow counters. They used the counters to make different combinations on a tens fram
This week, the children have been posed problems in maths where they have had to find their own method to work towards a solution. Problem solving and having the resilience to keep going even when things aren’t immediately obvious are extremely difficult skills for children to develop. In maths, oft
