Year 6 have been practicing their times tables when learning about factors, multiples and prime numbers.

This week we have started to learn about numbers, we started with the number 0. The children have been brilliant at recognising the numeral and understanding the value. 

We began with reading a story by Kathryn Otoshi called 'Zero'. We then looked at zero represented in the environment and went…

In Art this week, we developed our visual literacy skills by exploring our outdoor environment to find circles. We discussed how we use our sense of sight to see and explore. We developed our shape recognition in the environment and took photographs to record the many circles we could…

Year 1 loved using the one minute maths app to practise the skill of subsidising. They worked hard to beat their previous scores and were so excited to showcase what they had achieved. 

This week in Maths, we have been learning how to compare and order numbers up to 10,000,000. To help us order numbers, we used this diagram of a mountain to understand the difference between ascending and descending order. Comparing and ordering numbers can be a tricky skill however Y6 showed…

We moved onto exploring 3 digit numbers today by partitioning them into their separate parts. We looked at numbers using dienes to understand what 3 digit numbers look like before writing addition number sentences using what we found out.

For this picture it would be: 200 + 40 + 5 = 245

This week we have learnt the rhyme '5 Little Ducks' as we are learning all about our class.

. The children have loved learning the rhyme and actions, and are able to apply this in their independent learning. They have used the props on the maths table to sing with friends, count the ducks and…

In maths we used the base ten to help us flexibly partition numbers to 100. We created two groups and wrote the number sentences. This helped us see that numbers can be made up in different ways.

We used base 10 to help us to flexibly partitioning numbers to 100 in lots of different ways. The practical apparatus  helped us in securing our knowledge and understanding. 

In our Daily Maths sessions this week, we have been learning number rhymes. We practised singing 'Five Little Speckled Frogs', 'Five Little Ducks' and 'Five Little Monkeys'. We used our fingers to represent numbers within five as we sang along to each song. We are becoming more confident when…

In Maths this week, we have been learning about the importance of Maths as we get older. We have discussed key terminology including 'investment' and  'financial risk' before attempting to make money investing in businesses!
