This week, the children in Year Six have been learning how to use the long division method in Maths in order to divide by larger numbers. First, they practised generating given multiples of numbers using doubling and halving skills. Then, they used a repeated subtraction process to take away multipl
This week, Year Two have been working hard to compare, order and partition two-digit numbers. They used the comparison symbols (< > =) to decide whether a number was greater than, less than or equal to another number. The children learned a trick to help them with this – the crocodile eats the
This week we have been working on our Place Value and understanding the value of each digit in thousands numbers. Year 4 have impressed us so much, we finished the week completing hundreds and thousands calculations mentally, by looking at what would be the same and what would be different. This
The Tiny Seed We have had a lovely week in Nursery this week. We have carried on our topic of ‘growing’ ‘changing’ and ‘enchanted gardens’ and looked at how to grow seeds. Our main story has been ‘The Tiny Seed’. The children have enjoyed exploring different kinds of seeds in fruits and vege
This week we have been looking at angles and the properties of shapes. We have been looking for acute, obtuse and right angles, along with describing shapes by the angles that they have. Next we will be looking at the sides – discussing parallel, converging, diverging and whether they are equal
Continuing our topic on the ‘Great Outdoors’, this week, we found out all about ladybirds. We listened to the story, ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ by Julia Donaldson and discussed how the animals managed to trick the robbers and save the prize cow. We looked at the map of the farm that the robbers had
We have been working on data and statistics in maths this week, looking at different ways data can be presented, recorded and then interpreted. We also squeezed in a conversation about protecting our data and being careful about what we share. In Maths we started with pie charts, bar charts and tw
In Maths this week, the boys and girls have been learning how to multiply a single digit number by a two digit number. They represented the calculation in two different ways: as a repeated addition calculation and a multiplication calculation. The children used place value counters to represent th
Year One have been extremely busy this week learning to count all the way up to 50. The children enjoyed counting forwards and backwards and also learnt how to write the numbers down in digit form. During the week, the children were able to use counting equipment such as counters and tens and ones t
Linking to the fractions work Year 5 have been undertaking recently, this week we have begun working on decimals! We started by looking at fractions with denominators of 10 or 100, and how we can turn these into fractions, which we found really easy! After that we looked at denominators such as 25 a
