What a long way Year 2 have come in their Forest School journey. This morning they were totally immersed in the woodland. Building dens, creating games, planning and building bug houses, sharing skills, building new relationships, becoming leaders, the list goes on. More than all these things though
The children in Year 6 have been learning about volume. To begin with, they used multilink cubes to make 3D shapes of given volumes and learnt that shapes with the same volume can look very different. Then, they used the cubes to make 3D shapes from pictures and find their volumes. The children
The boys and girls in Year 3 have enjoyed using different units of measurement to explore length and height. To begin, they used 30cm rulers to measure in centimetres and millimetres. Then they used metre sticks to measure the length of objects in the playground, recording their answer in metres
In Maths, Year Two have been learning how to tell the time. They learned that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 30 minutes in half an hour. Before reading the time on a clock, the children had to learn the difference between the minute hand and the hour hand. Learning the t
The children in the Nursery are enjoying playing games! We have been learning how to play Tic Tac Toe, subitizing games, chef games, shopping list games, board games, and skittles. Lots of turn taking, working together, mathematical language, sharing, language, and predictions taking place during th
This week we have been learning about units of measurement for length and distance. Starting with kilometres, we worked on conversions to metres, then moved onto metres and centimetres and finished the week with centimetres and millimetres. This leads onto the next stage all about perimeter. We
This week in maths, Year 6 have been learning about percentage. It is an area of maths they were only 25% confident in before we started, but now they are 100% super stars! They have worked hard to become familiar with percentage and fraction equivalents and have then used these to calculate any per
As part of our topic on Journeys, we have been finding out about different types of transport this week. We read the rhyming story, ‘The Bus is For Us! by Michael Rosen, which explores different modes of transport we might travel on. The children enjoyed joining in with the rhyming words and p
In Forest School this week, Reception children began their RSPB Big School Birdwatch out in the winter sunshine. In class, using their “hand” binoculars and telescopes, they were shown how much information our eyes can take in. How reducing that information by limiting peripheral vision focuses the
Over the last two weeks, the children have been busy learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We started by learning the name of some 3D shapes and everyone had fun building models with them. The teachers were impressed with the children’s creativity and the models included flowers, towers, trains and p
