The children have had a fun Friday morning. We have re-introduced the Maths game, 4 in a line which was also played during our Year 3 Maths workshop. It required the children to not only used their multiplication knowledge but they also had to think about their tactics of what multiplication calcula
This week, the children in Year 6 have been working on co-ordinates and translating shapes on grids. They have worked in the four quadrants and have considered when the co-ordinate needs to be positive or negative and have used the age-old memory aide “along the corridor and up/down the stairs.” Onc
The children have finished their measurement unit: Mass and Capacity. Since returning to school after the Easter break, the children have focused on volume and capacity. They have worked extremely hard to understand the meaning of capacity: the amount a container can hold and volume: the amount of l
Some of the Year Two children have been taking part in a Lego STEM club. Each week they have found out about a different STEM related career and then taken part in an activity to link to these careers. First the children found out about civil engineers and mechanical engineers and completed their ow
Year One have enjoyed learning to measure this week. We started off by investigating some items that are heavy and some items that are light. Next we used balance scales to compare the weight of two objects. We discovered that when we weighed a heavy object, the balance scale went down whilst a ligh
This week, the children have been learning how to measure the mass of an object. We started off looking at different divisions on number lines (0-100) and working out the sequence by dividing 100 by the amount of intervals the number line has. The children then looked at measuring in grams. They sta
It’s not often that Year 6 get to play with cubes, so there was great excitement when the children were confronted with piles of coloured cubes this week to help them to calculate volumes. The week started with the children building shapes and counting cubes. They then developed their understanding
This week, Year 5 have taken part in Maths workshops. We would like to thank all parents who attended. These sessions were well received and both parents and children benefitted from them. As discussed at the workshop, times tables and division facts are incredibly important in the curriculum becaus
Year Two have been learning about measuring mass in Maths. First, the children learnt that we measure mass in grams and kilograms. Then, they started looking at scales that went up in divisions of 1, 2, 5 and 10 and reading off the mass in grams and in kilograms. They also learnt how to identify mas
For the last two weeks in maths, Year 6 have been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. Firstly, the children had to become familiar with percentage, decimal and fraction equivalents. Knowing these equivalences allowed the children to compare and order a them. The children then used
